1997 Vauxhall Vectra Premier review from UK and Ireland
"Very nice car, but poor service from dealer"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The clock/radio display faulty.
Engine management light intermittently coming on.
Noisy boot area, sounds of things moving about.
Engine seems to be underpowered for car.
Gears hard to engage, 2nd in particular.
Key fob for central locking stopped working.
Suspension seems to be too soft, ride is a little like being on a boat.
Door mirrors are bad design, unable to see behind properly.
Noisy steering column.
General comments?
The car itself looks really nice, this model is a limited edition for 1997.
It has alloy wheels, brake disc's all round, air conditioning, a lovely interior.
The car is very comfortable and is quiet.
The interior is very spacious and has lots of room.
