2006 Vauxhall Vectra CDTI review from UK and Ireland
"Large, bland, economical family car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car has started to vibrate in fourth gear, especially at low revs.
Cracked windscreen caused by stone chip.
Slow puncture offside front.
General comments?
The car is one of those standard company cars.
The cruise control comes in handy on long journeys or where there are a lot speed cameras.
Acceleration is fairly good for a diesel, probable because of the six speed gear box.
The gearbox is fairly clunky, but it is a heavy diesel car.
I get about 52mpg and about 600miles to the tank so fuel consumption is pretty good for a car of this size.
The only thing that lets it down for me is that the seats aren't very comfortable on long journeys and the lumber support seems to 'creep'. I have to adjust this every 200miles or so to feel any benefit. Maybe I should replace the car with a new spine!!
