1997 Vauxhall Vectra SRi ESTATE review from UK and Ireland
"Better than people make out"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fault with alarm last year which cured itself.
Failed its mot on numerous things I was a bit disappointed, but has done plenty of miles I suppose.
General comments?
The car had a brand new engine fitted at 78000 before I bought it so therefore runs like a dream.
The performance is quite good, but you really have to rev this engine to get the best out of it.
Very reasonable on petrol 22mpg round town 35 on motorway.
Being an estate with no badges it has surprised boy racers on numerous occasions.
