1997 Vauxhall Vectra GLS review from UK and Ireland
"Pace, comfort, great ride, and a low purchase price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Very little. The EGR valve had to be replaced, but this was covered under warranty and the dealer service was excellent.
General comments?
The only thing lacking from this car is air-con. Performance is superb. It's quite sedate at low engine speeds, but get the revs up and it's a beast (albeit a thirsty one). Lots of toys fitted, including ABS & traction control. Service costs are low. It only cost £85 for the 30,000 mile (major) service at a Vauxhall dealer.
