2002 Holden Vectra Equipe Sedan review from Australia and New Zealand
"A very good car all round except for some minor engineering faults"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Top engine gasket (cover) leaked oil when car was new. Replaced under warranty.
Steering Shaft needed replacing at 31000 Km's. Replaced under warranty.
Emissions warning light turns on & off randomly. Yet to be checked out by Holden. (and car is now out of warranty).
General comments?
Apart from the above issues, this car has been great value for money.
It handles like a European Sports car, gets great highway fuel economy and looks good as well.
It is a dream to drive, very comfortable and these models appear to have a good re-sale value.
