2003 Vauxhall Vectra LX review from UK and Ireland
"Performance, economy - excellent!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There is a problem with the suspension, but this is going to be fixed by the dealer we bought it from (thank god for warranties!).
General comments?
Other than the suspension problem, this car is refined and very economical, without being a slouch. When the foot goes down, the performance is excellent, even for a diesel.
I would not hesitate to buy another vectra, even after my experiences with the old model.
