1998 Vauxhall Vectra Arctic 2 review from UK and Ireland
"Great car to drive on short or long trips, and not to be ignored as an exciting drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Just after purchasing the car, a part in the steering column had to be replaced. This had been causing a notch that you could feel when turning left. The dashboard 'creaks' especially when the air-conditioning is switched on. Although I have been told this is common. The hatchback struts no longer support the weight of the hatchback.
General comments?
This is still one of the best cars to drive, that I have owned.
The performance and economy are both good, and the comfort,in my opinion is excellent.
This particular model (Arctic 2), has all the comforts you would expect in a much more expensive car, but at a very reasonable price.
