1997 Vauxhall Vectra SRi V6 Saloon review from UK and Ireland
"A great long distance cruiser and fun to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Reversing light switch busted. Other than that only normal wear and tear things.
General comments?
On the whole a very enjoyable car to drive, very good on long distances, and not bad economy for a 2.5 V6. The pleasure is marred only by quality problems that are annoying, like the clonking from the rear suspension on cornering, which the dealer cannot find, and the squeaky seats, and squeaky power steering.
The V6 engine however I found very smooth and refined, and great for long journeys. Saloon boot space is cavernous, and gadget level is nice, but it might have been nice to have electric rear windows (why only on the CD and CDX ?)
