2000 Vauxhall Vectra LS review from UK and Ireland
"A high performance bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
O2 sensor failed at 56000 miles.
Gearbox blew up at 81500 miles.
Clutch overheated and caused the pressure plate to crack in 2 places at 81500 miles.
Flywheel overheated and left it scored at 81500 miles.
Faulty oil pump replaced at 81500 miles.
General comments?
The car is seriously quick and handles like it's on rails. It is a very good car to own and drive, despite the problems that I have had. I wouldn't hesitate in buying a Vectra again.
My Vectra has been extremely reliable for the amount of miles I do (5000 miles a month) and the way I drive my car, although it has been serviced every 5000 miles to compensate for the hard use.
I got the car converted to LPG when I got it and it costs me half the price of petrol when I go anywhere. LPG is the best thing I ever done. I can do about 800 miles on the motorway staying at very high speeds for under 60 quid.
That's probably cheaper than a diesel.
I got a 136mph out of it on the autobahn in Germany. That is very fast for an 1.8 LPG car.
