1998 Vauxhall Vectra LS review from UK and Ireland
"Reliable, nice looking, well put together"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Idle control valve.
Rear anti roll bar bushes.
General comments?
Had this car for 3 years now, and I read all the bad reviews after I bought it and thought i'd done a wrong move, but I have to say this has been one of the best cars I've owned in 30 years, totally reliable, cost peanuts to run, and 43 mpg doing country, motorway and London driving.
The ride is a little firm, but great on the motorway.
I've now got 106000 miles on the clock, and I'm still on the original brake pads, front & rear, and she doesn't use a drop of oil between 8000 mile changes.
