1996 Vauxhall Vectra CDX review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Constant problems with ECU light coming, mainly caused by faulty sensors. All corrected under warranty.
Release cylinder on clutch failed. Major problem, no garages would undertake to work due to the amount of hassle involved. It's a gearbox out job, taking at least 10 hours labour plus parts. My local dealer even sent the car to another Vauxhall service center to be repaired.
General comments?
Fun car to drive, extremely comfortable, nice shapes and materials used on interior.
Turning circle is brilliant, cruise control is probably the best feature.
On the whole very happy with the car.
