1996 Vauxhall Vectra CDX review from UK and Ireland
"All the toys with a bit of go!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong with the car in general, I have only replaced the rear shockers and also at the same time the anti-roll bushes.
The car is serviced at the correct intervals all the time and I feel I will get a lot more running from it yet.
General comments?
This is my fourth Vauxhall, after a slight spell with a three year old Audi SE Estate which I found to be very overrated and in no way as good value for money as any previous Vauxhall I had owned considering the difference in price.
I think that the Vectra has a lovely shape, I have put a set of 17 inch alloys on and I am now very happy with the way the car looks and drives.
