2000 Vauxhall Vectra CDX review from UK and Ireland
"A good buy that will serve you well if you can put up with the Vauxhall dealer network!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Air conditioning failed due to hole in one of the pipes. The dealer got the new pipe and fitted it within a week, with a courtesy car supplied free.
General comments?
A really good family car, now on our third Vectra and haven't really had any great problems with any of them. Can't believe how biased Jeremy Clarkson is.
The only real gripe is the front seats, absolute rubbish. Our old 1.8LS was more comfortable. Seems Vauxhall have added loads of padding/lumbar support to the front seat backs and done this by stealing space from the front seat squab, instead of removing space from the cramped rear.
Vauxhall dealers though, continue to frustrate. A car is only as good as the manufacturer's dealers, and our local one is a waste of space. We didn't even buy the car from him (still waiting for him to call us back) and we have since bought a GSi Vectra, and again not from our local dealer. We ordered some genuine accessories from him, gave up waiting on these as well.
