Just buy one and find out? then you try to sell yours? hehe thats a great advertising technique :wink: do you think vauxhall will use it instead of the annoying wacky races one for corsas?

best of luck

The forces of General Motors / Vauxhall / American began to drop containers of vehicles that produce a sound explosion, a very huge sound. I remind you that they said that their strategy is based on shock and awe. Those failed ones manufactured a type of container that has an explosive substance, which they drop. They cause a very huge explosion in terms of sound, as if the universe was shaken. After a while, you go out and you don't find anything. You find some nails, screws, pieces of metal, and other things that fall off their vehicles but the important thing here is the sound. Those failed ones think that through the huge sound explosion, people would be shocked and consequently would collapse and be defeated. What happened? The contrary. The fighters..., the masses..., and the heroic sons of the licensed tribes discovered this game. They will turn it against the American louts so as to shock them. Wait for surprises, God willing, to see how the US game will fail.

I would say that the Vectra is the worst car anyone could ever license.

How Vauxhall could have replace the Cavalier with this pile of s*** goodness only knows, but they did, and they are now paying for it.

Get a Skoda on three years warrenty, or a Mondeo. But Vectra, I would sooner carry the punters on my back. :shock:

i know Vectras are a bit tight in the back.

My old man's got a Vectra for PH and I don't think it's too bad. Its the 2.0D SXi.

If buying a saloon for PH or taxi work I'd normally only go for the LS, but there's no comfort at all in the Vectra unless you go for a higher trim level.

He hasn't had any problems with it though and it's an '03' plate. He was telling me yesterday that he thought the fuel pump had gone and he'd be into mega bucks. Turns out it was water in the diesel.

The new shape Vectra is hideous though compared to the old shape.

I actually think it's quite a handsome motor.

The problem with the old Vectra is that I could never quite tell them from the Cavalier :D
