1996 Vauxhall Vectra Premier review from UK and Ireland
"If you can afford something better go for it!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine wise the car is fantastic!!! 11/10 for reliability. However the body work and electrics have hit me hard financially. I have paid for fixing the central locking twice in one year! The rear wiper needed repairing and rainwater enters the car all too easily. I had to replace the remote control five times (£40 each time). If you want my advice go for something more expensive. You may be sacrificing the hushed environment inside the car, but it'll be worth it in the long term (financially)
General comments?
A very quiet car - even at high speeds. Interior looks very bland and dated - including the seats. Does take sometime getting use to the biting point as the clutch has to be raised considerably high for the car to move.
Engine gives the impression of it being 'frozen in time'- works like new!The interior looks very cheap with many areas that have "cheap looking solutions"
