1998 Vauxhall Vectra GSI review from UK and Ireland

Nothing to write home about really.

Erratic idling sometimes (iac valve apparently)

Slow puncture (fixed)

Car has a clonk at the front, I'm guessing arb bushes or along them lines.

Not had this car long, but my first impressions are 'what an excellent car'

Fully specced up, lovely recaro seats set it apart from the rest of the vectra b lineup, very useful trip computer.

Very quick car considering its size my only real complaint is the gearing is too widely spaced (noticeable from 2nd to 3rd) as it catches the lovely v6 motor 'off cam' which is a shame really... it sounds glorious with a cone filter fitted too.

The gsi really does look the part externally with the deep bumper and skirting and the 17" borbet alloys look excellent.

Brakes are adequate, but should be better considering the performance of the car, also for such a big thing it don't half go round the corners well... really does put a grin on my face every time I take it for a spirited drive :)

I highly recommend the vectra gsi, it's a 'lot' of car for very little dosh!
