1999 Opel Vectra 2.0 16V CD review from Turkey
"A good choice for those who drives much on motorways"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
1.Evporator of air condition has developed a leak and been changed.
Other than that nothing really wrong, except standard maintenance.
2. But I don't exactly realize why the water pump must be changed with the timing belt. (every 60 000 mks) Why not only the timing belt??
General comments?
1.It is very good doing 125 km/h at 3000rpm in fifth gear. when driving on motorway.
2. Requires more gear changes when not driving in motorway than a 1.6 compact car (e.g. golf) because of long gear ratios.
3.engine too noisy for a car of this segment in low speed, but OK when driving faster than 80 km/h.
4.Bad driving position to my view, (steering wheel too low, seat too high. and I am 190 cm.).Vectra A that I had before this one was perfect on this point.
5. Very good automatic air conditioning.
