1996 Vauxhall Vectra CDX review from UK and Ireland
"An economical pocket rocket"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator diode pack burnt out at 112000 miles.
CD player sometimes plays up.
General comments?
Generally, the car has been superb.
It's comfortable, shifts when I need it, and returns a good MPG on the motorway.
In two and a half years, and 60000 miles, it has only let me down once, and I haven't exactly looked after it as well as I should.
