1997 Vauxhall Vectra LS Estate review from UK and Ireland
"Excellent 2nd hand bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Display panel for outside the temperature, radio and time etc practically invisible by 100,000 miles - was replaced under dealer warranty.
Headlight bulb blew and the headlights are generally rather dim (dipped only, fine on full beam).
Hand-brake needs regular adjustment.
General comments?
An excellent reliable large estate, well worth the money for a three year old car. Don't be put off by high mileage - this car has done 140K of which 50 were in the last 2 years without missing a beat, other than the small items listed above.
Servicing by Vauxhall dealers is cheap and for the size of car running costs are small. Easily does 41 mpg.
