Vauxhall Vectra Saloon 2.2 CDX 4d (LT) (2001/Y) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Good value for money and well put together. A lot of car for your money!
Costs
Fuel cost on the 2.2 seems better than my mondeo 2.0. Parts seem a bit expensive.

Driving
Not a bad driving position, just a shame the steering only has height ajustment. Handling when cornering can be a bit of a problem at speed. Drives great on motorways, not so good on minor roads. The Mondeo handles much better than the Vectra.
Performance
Great! The 2.2 engine is a dream - I've tried the 1.8 and 2.0; these perform ok but the 2.2 is much better, smoother.

Living with it
Reliability
So far no problems! Again, older cars have much of the problems, newer is better as much of the problems sorted by Vauxhall.

REP CAR. They won't get you noticed, but who cares - maybe the local joyriders will leave it be.
Comfort
Seats are very hard when you first try them, but a few miles down the road you will find that they support you very well.

Security and Service
Security
Alarm and immobiliser and double locking. Locks are better on newer cars.
Service
Had a main service done when I got the car and all work was done correctly. Dealer was very friendly, but maybe thats because I'm a car mechanic.
