1998 Vauxhall Vectra DTI LS Estate review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing so far. Have only driven 200 miles!
Wrong sunvisors fitted (for LHD!).
General comments?
VW complained about TDI designation, claiming trademark. GM had to drop TDI name and now call it DTI! Vast improvement on Isuzu 1.7TD and DI (non intercooled). Smooth and terrific lugging power. Slightly smoky on start up (winter?). Using Dieselclean. Economy mid 30's (engine still tight) around town. Ride better, esp over pot-holes etc. Underrated model; should improve with this engine!
