1997 Vauxhall Vectra GLS review from UK and Ireland
"This car is a very good workhorse"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 131,000 there was an auto gearbox problem, which the Vauxhall dealer in Sheffield diagnosed as a ECU fault. Auto gearbox specialist fixed the fault.
General comments?
The car's performance is very good.
The driving position is not right, and there is nowhere to rest your left foot, as there is a footwell intrusion from the centre console.
