1998 Vauxhall Vectra Arctic 2 review from UK and Ireland
"Silly depreciation makes nearly new Vectras a bargain buy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Minor engine management problem causing the engine to race at idle.
General comments?
Don't believe what the likes of Clarkson say. The Vectra has proved to be totally dependable over 40,000 miles including trips all over Europe. The build quality is the best I have experienced in 20 years of motoring. It may not be the most exciting driver's car ever, but as a family workhorse, in my experience it provides sensible cost effective motoring for those who are not seduced by or can't afford the so called prestige brands.
