1996 Vauxhall Vectra CDX review from UK and Ireland
"Overall performance and comfort excellent. Electrics, pathetic! (an understatement)"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had the car 5 mins & loads gone wrong already.
Instrument panel goes berserk when going around bends, everything dies & comes back to life again.
Trip computer keeps sending messages when nothing is wrong.
Rear bushes failed.
Rear discs are very noisy.
Clutch very noisy.
Was warned about the electrics, they were right I'm afraid!
General comments?
Very comfortable & handles superbly.
Cornering excellent.
Dash is classy.
Rev counter slightly obscured by the steering wheel.
