2003 Vauxhall Vectra Elegance review from UK and Ireland
"Under-rated"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No faults, but the controls are irritating.
General comments?
Good package of handling, performance, economy and features.
Vauxhall tried to cram too many quirky features into the controls and it's too easy to choose the wrong one. The indicators are annoying, and the rain-sensitive wipers are unpredictable.
