2003 Holden Vectra CDXI review from Australia and New Zealand
"Great performance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
This car has a lot of power from the moment you step on the acc, you get a smooth and deep sound from the engine and it delivers even under 4000 revs. Think it can do 0-100 in about 7.7 seconds.
The driver's seat is very comfortable with 8 way adjust seat and the leather is done much better than the Mazda 6 luxury (which is the car I was considered before). The cabin is very quiet except for the excess tire noise.
It has a very good ride and we love the heated seats in cold Melbourne (not many cars in this class have this)
The only thing we didn't like about it, is for some of our taller friends, they have difficulty as the head room is quite limited at the back seats. Other than that, we believe it is a great car without the luxury price tag!
