* Water seeps in in between the windscreen laminate; gives a misty appearance which you can't fix unless you replace the entire screen.
* Water leak through the rear screen seal at the offside bottom corner, nicely filling the boot up.
Good points:
The lowered and up-rated suspension on this model (Super Touring, only 500 made) should have been standard on all the Vectra's as it certainly sorts out the well known standard Vectra handling problems.
Also quite impressed by the smoothness of the car.
Bad points:
Poor performance for a sporty limited edition car.
Driving position not great and the front seats have no support whatsoever for excited driving.
No good for motorway driving if you like to move along a bit, ie. 90mph+ as the revs are way too high (4500rpm @ 100mph) and it guzzles fuel like no tomorrow. I never did manage to get 400 miles to a 60 litre tank even using my steadiest driving skills!
Still haven't found a suitable Vauxhall replacement for my ultra-reliable 223K Nova GTE!!
Having owned a 1998cc model for 2 years I have to contradict the mpg figures, fuel consumption was easily 36mpg.This average was worked out from having covered 65k miles.
Well I have got a 2.5 v6 super touring.and got to say I love the car. but like stated they are very under powered for a limited sports car. the drive is good handle, s very well.
petroll not to bad it is a v6 after all
What I would change.>bit more response to the throttle it flat spots a bit lag. clutch think id prefer cable.
Seating ya move about more than the car does cornering.
Overall id give the car 8 out of 10,
