1997 Vauxhall Vectra CDX review from UK and Ireland
"A great car with a good specification for long journeys"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Both front woofer speakers have blown.
Leaky back pipes in the engine caused a breakdown.
All covered quickly by the dealer at no cost.
General comments?
Overall very pleased.
Trim and equipment excellent, especially cruise control.
The car can do a better job of being economical that I can!
Good sound system also.
A/C fine.
No squeaks or rattles at this mileage.
Diesel engine loads better with an electronic boost box fitted helping overtaking and cruising. This added 30 hp and more torque, still giving an average of 55 mpg. Standard low pressure turbo a bit dull.
Firmer suspension would be better also. Will be keeping the car for some time and hope to see over 100k from it. Interior lasting well.
