Driving
Handling is excellent. Sooooo much better than all other Vectras. Sorted!
Performance
Gearing is a bit tall for engine, but very fast and it does 150MPH. Keep the revs high to enjoy it at its best.

Living with it
Reliability
Nail. Lemon. Vauxhall unreliability taken to new levels. Has been back to dealer 20+ times in 3 years. Appaling is all I can say.
Image
More common now but gets stares. Well sorted styling and nice wheels. Better than facelift model.
Comfort
No problems. Recaros very nice.
