2000 Vauxhall Vectra SRi 140 Estate review from UK and Ireland
"An enjoyable good fast reliable Estate with low running costs"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Low oil warning sensor had to be replaced at 65000.
Traction control sensor light occasionaly comes on after being driven hard along country roads (Dealer has been unable to fix)
Irmsher twin exhaust back box completely blown, complained to Vauxhall given that it not cheap to replace at £310. Vauxhall not interested in helping with the replacement cost. However full marks (110%) to Irmscher in Germany who on contacting them gave me a 100% no-charge replacement.
General comments?
A car that has been 100% reliable stats first time every time. very good performance and handling. A very good motorway car I have traveled huge distances across Europe (France/Holland/Belgium/Germany/Austria/Italy Italy, some towing with a caravan hall without any trouble. Also a good high speed distance car, cruised 115/120 mph across Germany with ease.
Firm ride, but comfortable, except on bumpy country roads, but then you can't have good road holding and a soft ride.
