1996 Vauxhall Vectra 2.0GLX Estate review from UK and Ireland
"Good, reliable company car, and it would be OK as a private choice, too"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine mounting fell off complete with PAS pump assembly, and was re-attached under warranty.
General comments?
Reliable and well made car, and quite economical at 31mpg whilst being pushed hard. Overall, less competent than a Mk2 Cavalier owned earlier. Manual gearbox rather unpleasant and was only starting to bed-in at the time the car left me.
