1996 Vauxhall Vectra SRi 16v review from UK and Ireland
"A lot of car for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Cam shaft sensor had to be replaced at 100k.
Idle valve sensor went about 105k.
Wheel bearing replaced at 110k.
Full exhaust needed.
Battery replaced.
General comments?
For a large car it was actually quite economical at around 32-35 mpg. However the cars reliability was a bit of a let down with electrics which proved to be quite expensive. Even after this I am now searching for another one. The gadgets on the car were quite cool, especially the on-board computer which tells you every thing from fuel consumption to bulb replacement. overall it has got reasonable acceleration and good handling.
