1998 Opel Vectra GL review from Finland
"A car with a lot of problems"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This car was really a Monday car.
The air conditioning is not working.
The front spring just broke down.
Ice cold air comes into the cabin in winter time.
You have to add oil 2 litres every 8000 kilometers.
Sometimes there is not any pressure in the engine so it`won't start (valve problem?).
Once a month you have change one of the lamps. And so on...
General comments?
This car is nice to drive when it is OK, but this is very seldom.
Does anybody have any experience about the new Vectra with 1,8 l engine and automatic air control.
