1996 Vauxhall Vectra Premier review from UK and Ireland
"Poor to average"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The air con system on the car has had to be rebuilt by the dealer after they were unable to fix it after eight attempts. The tail lift struts both leaked grease after two years.
The radio display packed up.
A severe water leak developed in the boot and was begrudgingly repaired by the dealer under warranty after much arguing.
General comments?
The car is an adequate one, but is let down by bad build quality and poor dealership backup.
