"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.

I agree, great car, despite the bad press. Imagine what it would be like if you did look after it.

People moan about the vectra CDX, but I have just traded mine in for a newer Y reg. My old R reg' vectra had done 217,000 when I traded it in. In all that time the air con packed up and the drivers side wheel bearing went after 215,000 miles and that is all. A great car. Hope my new one lasts as long.
