1998 Vauxhall Vectra GS Estate review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Faulty screen washer. Appalling mileage. Brake cable stretched.
General comments?
This is "Cavalier" No. 5 and the worst so far. I drive around 1000 miles a week, and the economy is very poor, with 30 MPG max. I used to get over 40. This represents a lot of dosh. Colleagues have reported the same thing. OK, it's 16 valve and 200 cc more than the last Cavalier, but the performance improvement is marginal. All my previous Vauxhalls have been reliable and economical. This may be the last.
