2000 Vauxhall Vectra SRi review from UK and Ireland
"A cheap, quick, easy to drive, well specified bargain, but beware the dealers!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The engine began to lose power at around 8000 miles. The fault (I traced as the dealer couldn't find anything wrong?) was a faulty plug lead.
Hand brake leaves more to be desired even after adjustment at service intervals.
Ongoing problems with drivers window mechanism.
Dealers want to replace parts to TRY and solve problems rather than diagnose faults and then replace relevant bits.
General comments?
The Vectra Sri is a very quick car and handles very well for it's size and overall weight.
Cabin is gloomy, but the equipment specification us pretty high i.e. A.B.S, traction control etc.
The product is good, but overall it is let down by the main dealers. I now use a local specialist and save a fortune.
Seats leave a lot to be desired for so called sports seats i.e. very hard and little support.
