1998 Vauxhall Vectra LS review from UK and Ireland

"Buy something else instead"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

A creaking noise from the rear.

A scratching noise going round corners from the rear.

Dashboard lights blown.

Radio looses its settings, when the engine is switched off.

Radiator has a small crack in the plastic, causing a small leak.

Air Conditioning is noisy, in the interior of the car when in use and also is not very cold when it is in use.

Brakes squeak when pressed hard.

Multi function display has digits missing, but re-appear during driving on bumpy roads.

General comments?

Dealer is useless.

I've had the car only 2 months and the dealer has had the car more times than I have.

I am stuck with this car until I can pay off the finance and it's going to be expensive.

Seats are a nightmare on long journeys.
