"Excellent, it just wants to go straight!!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing has gone wrong with this car at all since I have owned it.

General comments?

This is still the Vectra B styled Model.

All this car has cost me is petrol, oil and tyres, although I expect a cam belt change is due (prevention better than cure!)

The car is very quick, and in 2nd and 3rd can be taken to the limiter for excellent acceleration.

It seems to have been designed as a motorway car, as it acts like a sulky dog going around lanes, but leaps into action when you hit a straight.

The traction control has proved handy on a couple of occasions, although I wish it was switchable.

The drivers seat can give a bit of a numb leg if not adjusted properly, but that was just early teething problems of me not reading the handbook ;-P.

My mother complains that she cannot hear me when she is riding in the back, but perhaps it is the Michelins that I have chosen, as I have gone for profile and grip over tyre rumble.

A Superchip would give it an extra 10bhp, but for 300 quid I can't see the point.

Overall a good car, best I have had to date.
