1997 Vauxhall Vectra Arctic 2 review from UK and Ireland
"Excellent family car with low running costs"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rust appeared around the inside of both rear door seals. Finally rectified under warranty, but took 4 visits.
General comments?
An excellent family car. Other than the hiccup with the rust, the car has proven totally reliable.
Dealers are the slickest, but service prices are half what I paid to VW dealers with my previous car.
MPG excellent, particularly on the motorway.
Only killer is depreciation from new - buy a nearly new example from a reliable source.
