1997 Vauxhall Vectra LS review from UK and Ireland
"Excellent value"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Cam belt sensor.
Small amount of play in the steering wheel.
When applying hand brake, car drops forward/backward a little if on a hill.
General comments?
I think the styling for a family car is very sleek.
It handles better than my wife's Mazda 626.
Acceleration is above average.
I just bought 6 internal doors and all fitted inside the car.
The ride is very smooth.
