1997 Vauxhall Vectra Arctic review from UK and Ireland
"A useless pile of rubbish"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Multi function display is rubbish, been changed twice, both times it loses digits etc, cannot read it.
Drive shaft joint failed.
Gears very unsmooth.
Suspension is a joke.
Paint on the bumpers chips off like emulsion.
Suspension is useless, if you ran over an empty fag packet you would feel it.
Back quarter panel window leaks, stay away from the jet wash.
Steering wheel rattles over bumps and feels loose and unsafe.
General comments?
This car is so bad at everything except going straight down a motorway.
The car is a joke, joke to drive, joke to own, joke to be seen in.
Vauxhall should recall these piles of crap and crush them for other manufacturers to make proper cars from.
