1999 Vauxhall Vectra CDX review from UK and Ireland
"A fine comfortable car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Air Bag warning light came on the night I picked up the car, the dealer fixed this under warranty.
Exhaust blowing after two week of owning the car. Dealer fixed this even though the exhaust is not covered.
General comments?
The car has plenty of power although there is a flat spot between 2000 - 3000 rpm I think this I the case on all the V6 Vectra's my friend has the same problem he has the 2.6 V6 CDX.
The Vectra is very comfortable full leather, heated seats, climate control; the list goes on and on. I especially like the on board computer which lets you know if anything is wrong with your car even when you need to fill your washer bottle up.
On the outside the car looks good I have the full Irmsher body kit and exhaust fitted this gives the car more road presence without going over the top.
If your looking for a sports car this is not for you the cornering is acceptable, but it won't handle like it's on rails. Also due to the weight of the car the 170bhp carries you to 60mph in about 8 seconds not quick enough for the boy racers out there.
