1998 Opel Vectra Pearl Stationwagon review from Netherlands
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Until now no problems at all. But is is a very young car with only 25000 km. The car makes a very solid impression.
General comments?
Nice, comfortable car with good ride and steering. On the motorway it's very stable, even at high speed (170-180 km/h) and with heavy wind. It doesn't have any real flaws. The engine runs smooth but lacks power under 3000 revs, I wouldn't advise this engine for pulling a caravan. What I would advise is airconditioning.
It's certainly not overpriced and is very effective. Fuel consumption is agreeable, about 9-10 L per 100 km in town to 7-8 L per 100 km on the motorway. The stationwagon has less space than most similar sized cars, but is large enough for me, my wife and two kids. And it is the most beautiful Opel you can buy at the moment.
