1998 Vauxhall Vectra LS review from UK and Ireland
"Ambassador like luxury for the man on the street!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alarm would not turn off, (very embarrassing) although this was an after market alarm.
Indicator light bulb had to be replaced.
General comments?
The transition from my previous car was literally like stepping forward a decade overnight. The smooth ride coupled with the sports handling of the Vectra allowed me to accelerate up hills and find new levels of driver satisfaction. Admittedly the wrong wheels are driven by the engine, but this is a minor point.
I have now installed some luxury England mats, which give the car an 'executive' feel.
