1998 Vauxhall Vectra GLS review from UK and Ireland
"A smooth budget drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Driver side door lock jammed due to apparent over use.
Rear wishbones starting to get slight play which was common in 1998 models.
General comments?
The 2 litre GLS model isn't as quick as other equivalent manufacturers, but it's as solid as any others when needed.
A nice smooth ride, but has a considerable amount of road noise at times. I've found that correct tyre pressures have a massive factor in this problem.
Nice amount of room in the drivers seat and also a lot of room for long legs at the back.
Very impressed with this early Vectra. Will definately be looking into Vauxhall for my next purchase. Great job guys!
