1997 Vauxhall Vectra SRi review from UK and Ireland
"A closet rocket ship"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Cam belt went at 77000 miles
DIS pack went at 50000 miles
Catalytic converter went at 64000 miles.
General comments?
The car is a hoot to drive, doing things that no reps car should do.
It's an excellent mile muncher, chewing up huge distances in a short time with no fuss or bother, but adds an element of fun into the journey.
