2006 Vauxhall Vectra review from UK and Ireland
"Adequate, but concerned that there may be a serious flaw with handbrake"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Suspect hand brake failed whilst parked on brow of a hill. Rolled back and demolished a couple of walls. Thankfully no-one was injured.
This seems to be a bit of a common fault. Is the manufacturer investigating?
General comments?
Wish I never gave up my MG ZT turbo. The MG spoiled me for acceleration, comfort, style etc etc. So it's difficult to rank a Vectra in the same league.
