1998 Vauxhall Vectra SRi V6 review from UK and Ireland
"Good performance at a brilliant price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing major has gone wrong apart from the ignition switch contacts burning up, but it was replaced free of charge by the dealer under waranty with no quibbles.
General comments?
Excellent driving machine. Not an obvious power machine but when you hit the gas it goes well.
Takes a bit of getting used to the rear spoiler blocking your rear view mirror view slightly.
Cup holders are great, really smooth operation!!!!!
Would recommend joining the performance car club to get the most out of it.
On board trip computer is a good idea too as you can get to know how much fuel you are burning and can adjust your driving to suit yourself.
Traction control is wicked and pulls you out of trouble in the wet.
Buy a second hand one about 2 years old which is already tamed, great car, nice to drive.
