2000 Opel Vectra Sport review from Portugal
"Most beautiful car I've ever seen.."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The previous Vectra (1996 - 1.6 16V also) had quite a lot of problems.
GR Valve; rear suspension with wrong alignment; the engine never had the performance that should have, possibly the fuel injection bomb that never worked properly; the water bomb (I guess it's how it is called in english).
Because I'm a fan of Opel, I bought another Vectra...
General comments?
The Vectra that I own now it's just fabulous, superb handling and very fast engine (even though it's an 1.6).
It should have 100hp, but in the review machine it achieves 115hp...I love the car...
It's a very beautiful car, I really love it.
If any of you who read this have any photos of YOUR Vectra, please send to hugo_b@net.sapo.pt.
Thank you...
