2003 Vauxhall Vectra SRi Edition 100 review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Middle rear seat belt wouldn't pull out of holder from new - replaced under warranty.
New modified aux belt pulley fitted under warranty at 34k - original squeaked on cold start up.
General comments?
This is a good car. Not as good to drive dynamically as a Mondeo 3 but much better quality in terms of it's construction.
The 2.0T engine is a SAAB engine and has plenty of power and is an excellent motorway cruiser when mated to the six speed box. Economy isn't brilliant at a combined 32.3mpg, but acceptable.
The SRi Edition 100 has some good extra features over the standard SRi - half leather seats, rear spoiler and 17" multispoke alloys. IMO the car looks really good.
