    5 Stars Vauxhall Vectra SRI 150 2.2 (150ps) 04/08/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Reliable, well built performance family hatchback.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Some faults too common, it's a Vauxhall Vectra!!

    The introduction of the new 2.2 16v Eco-tech engine amongst the current line up of 6 engines; ranging from 1.6 to 2.5 V6 with two diesel power plants thrown in between, gave customers a successful comprimise between the not-so-nippy 2.0l and the fuel guzzling 2.5l V6 engine. The 2.2l 4 cylinder engine gave real flexibilitly in terms of driveability. With dollops of low end torque, and with strong useable power right up to the redline, together with the potential of achieving mpg figures of mid 30's overall, customers would have had to have been given poor advice from their dealer to opt for ... more

    4 Stars Motoring, with sporting accent Review with images 01/12/2000
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Sporty feel, improvement over others in range

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Minor technical faults (trim, electrical)

    1998 Vectra 2.0 SRi The SRi (2.0) is a more defined car, than the "normal" range cars. This is helped by "uprated" suspension and wider track tyres. Interior features are slightly similar to the standard range, but enhanced by improved trim, based on the CDX. Performance is near to that of the GSi, as there are many complainants of the GSi, who have also driven the SRi! The vehicle is a compromise between the top of the range GSi (which is a modified SRi, supplied by MSD) and the CDX. Fuel consumption averages 30mpg., and look for "air breather" modification on engine. Insurance is reasonable ... more

    2 Stars A family car? 23/07/2000
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Cheap family car, budget

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Lose lots of money, in no way is it flash

    Me and my wife have always gone for top models and sports cars and in March 99 we had 2 good cars but felt that we were worried to take them some places because of the fear of them been stolen. So we went and looked at family cars such as the Vectra and Peuget 406 and some others after looking at all we decided that a Vectra would be the best for us. We went to loal dealers and could get an R reg for around £12,000 we went to an auction and picked one up for £10,000 which was quite cheap at the time. We thought that it would be ok for a while which it was until around Christmas when things ... more

    2 Stars New Engine - No Difference 29/03/2001
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Nice sound

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Poor performance, poor economy

    I recently had the opportunity to try the new 2.2 engine in the Vauxhall Vectra. Having run several over the past few years with a mix of 1.8, 2.0 and 2.5 engines I was intrigued as to why Vauxhall had gone for this unusual size. After 500+ miles I really cannot see what the fuss is about. The engine has one redeeming quality, it sounds almost as good as the 2.5V6 under acceleration and certainly far better than the 'thrashy' sound of both the 1.8 and 2.0. However the engine does not give anywhere approaching the same level of performance of the 2.5. Its quick, but there is no real urge and to ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages See review

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None as yet

    Over the past few weeks i hav been fortunate enough to drive a variety of cars, the Lexus IS200, Toyota Avensis 1.8 and now this, the Vectra 2.2i. (see seperate reviews). Out of the three, the vectra is a clear out and out winner. The model i am currently driving is in effect the entry level LS, but dont let that put you off. For £15025.00 not only did i get metalic paint and 15" alloy wheels but the following: remote control CD player, ABS, Air conditioning, twin front airbags, side impact air bags, traction control, electric front windows, electric heated mirrors and loads of little storage ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Fast,Sporty,Good Spec,

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Rear bushes prone to wear

    I have not owned my Vectra a 1996 N Reg SRI 2.0 16v for very long but in the time i have had it i have been really impressed, The level of spec you get for your money is really good, and you can pick up an early example for not a lot of money, As for the spec, you get, Power Steering. Air Conditioning. Traction Control. ABS. Electric Windows. Alloy Wheels. Electric Heated Mirrors. Dashboard Computer, ( which is very good and informative ). Safety is taken care of as well with drivers air bag,and radio controls on the steering wheel which work well and save you leaning forward to adjust the ... more

    4 Stars Vauxhall Vectra SRi 2.2i 150 Saloon 12/08/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Comfortable..Looks Good...Fast as Fook!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Is quite greedy on the petrol if you have a heavy right foot!!

    I've got the saloon version of this model!! I would HIGHLY advise you give or get someone who knows how to check the engine over thoroughly as mine is burning oil to the extent im having to put 1 litre of oil in every week, when driving it didnt seem to have any power at all and would missfire but then would burst to life for the whole of 5 seconds, took it back to garage numerous times as it was still under warrenty and work was carryied out on it in this order \"over a 3 month period that is" ... new head gasket...spark plugs??..."engine management light started coming on" gas circulation ... more

    4 Stars Style and Reliability at an affordable price 11/05/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Style, Reliability, Comfortable

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Fuel Consumption a little bit high

    What can I say, I love my SRI! I used to own an Audi A4 before I purchased my beloved Vectra and to be totally honest I would never choose another vehicle. The performance of this car is second to none, I love the onboard computer, it tells me the temperature outside, average fuel consumtion, fuel range, MPG etc, and I find that the Traffic Master is brilliant for motorway driving, (especially if you do not remember what junction you have just passed)! It has everything you need to make any journey comfortable (apart from a Mini Bar)! On long journeys the fuel comsumption is average, but if ... more

    3 Stars Quick review of Vauxhall Vectra SRi 2.2i hatchback by durnstern 01/09/2008
    A fairly good family car. Isn't the comfiest car in the world but does a good job. It can carry up to 5 passengers. It has a fairly large boot to store alot of things in for those family day outs.
