1998 Vauxhall Vectra GLS review from UK and Ireland
"Cheap to run, quick and comfortable!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced Cat and complete Exhaust System at 186000 miles. Whilst it was in for that, the mechanic said the cambelt was well overdue and trying to work itself off its rollers so that was done at the same time!
General comments?
Fantastically comfortable - journeys of 500 miles shrugged off with ease.
Engine hardly used any oil even with 191000 miles on the clock, and still pulled exceptionally well.
Everything worked, even the air con was ice cold.
Best bit of all, I bought it for £680 in October last year, and sold it today for £680 with 1 months tax and MOT - lucky so and so!
