1998 Vauxhall Vectra GSi review from UK and Ireland
"Not a bad car, but being Vauxhall lets it down"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Oil leak from cooler, 50p seal, 250 pound repair.
Speakers blown
Clock display top line missing.
Rust, rust and more rust. Poor paint finish.
Spot welds on rear a frames split (design fault vauxhall repair)
General comments?
Car is too long through gears, who needs 107 in 3rd gear, if you manage top speed, it will be on an airstrip... a long one.
What a hassle to get an aftermarket exhaust to fit. Jetex do one now.
Cannot yet find a detachable towbar to fit due to being Gsi.
Will not be back to Vauxhall for a car.
Vauxhall ask for 200pounds for brake pads, can be bought cheaper else where.
