2006 Vauxhall Vectra SRi review from UK and Ireland
"A seriously under rated car, that I like a lot"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
So far nothing has gone wrong. It's been 100%.
General comments?
I like this car a lot. It looks good, it's well built, safe, and secure.
It handles nicely and is very comfortable to drive for long distances.
The 1.8 VVTi is no road burner, but it is a nice mixture of performance and economy. The car returns me mid 30's MPG, which for a car of this size is pretty good.
The sound system is great, and sounds better than some of the supposed 'premium' systems I have listened to in other cars.
It has a quality feel about it, and is a massive improvement on the old Vectra B model.
Being the estate model, it's absolutely HUGE! I drove a Peugeot 406 estate before, which just does not compare to the Vectra.
