1996 Opel Vectra CD review from Hong Kong
"Great car at a bargain price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fog lights don't work.
Drivers door is not closing smooth, probably due to accident by previous owner.
Air-con is not powerful enough.
Air-con and recirculation lights on the switches are blown, have to guess if it's on or not.
General comments?
I have the timing belt replaced right away when buying this car, so no problems here.
Handling very smooth and quiet.
Runs very economical 1L : 12KM for a 2.0.
Resell value low here in Hong Kong, so it was a bargain for me to buy it.
Opel dealer very expensive so never visited, no big problems anyway.
