2006 Vauxhall Vectra SRi ( nav ) review from UK and Ireland

Slight frustrating steering wheel vibration between 70-80mph, but apart from that, all fine. Still almost new.

Solid build with a air of quality makes this car a pleasure to live with. I needed a family sized motor which didn't advertise I had a young family and required a bit of fun too!

Cdti diesel is both effortless and quick and strangely out performs my previous 9-3 with same engine unit.? Torque and power amazing for a 1.9, 6 spd box helps return 50mpg + on motorway runs, whilst balanced sport set up on this Sri provides comfortable reassuring handling on the fast twisty A roads.

Cabin quality and comfort all excellent, to be honest, a notch up from my Saab in my opinion!.

Loads of room coupled with vast boot (hatch), accomodates the entire family with ease and comfort.

Ride firm, but not hard or harsh, noticeable road noise at motorway speeds though.

Equipment levels, audio system and Nav all 1st rate.. plenty of "Kit" and subtle body kit styling all very pleasing on the eye without obvious boy racer statement.

I found this car hard to beat in the market, considering it's price, a true family quality mile muncher which provides a fast fun sporty driving experience when asked of it!

Just wish my dealer would acknowledge the slight steering wheel vibration though.. had the tracking,wheels and tyres checked twice now & can't find an obvious problem.. anyone else experiencing this or can offer advice?
