Vauxhall Vectra 1.8i Hatchback

I have had the pleasure of driving the Vauxhall Vectra 1.8i Club daily over three years (a total of 12,000 miles approximately). When I first jumped into the drivers seat, I immediately felt right at home. The seats were firm, nicely adjustable (drivers seat adjusts for height also). The steering wheel is adjustable (up/down only). Everything is within easy reach. The control panel, heating, air conditioning (standard on the Club), etc. all clearly marked. The three years previously, I had been driving a Vauxhall Astra. Well the Vectra didn't "feel" so different to the extent that I would have ... more

Introduction I brought my 04 plate vectra club almost 2 months ago, and have done about 3000 miles in it. i find it a very enjoyable and fun car to drive, so i'll tell you the good bits and a few niggles i have. the car itself has 120BHP and is insurance group 7. For me a 20 year old with 1 years no claims it is £845 a year, which isnt much more than what it was for me in a 1ltr corsa.

After a test drive though I had totally changed my mind about Vauxhalls.

I've had my Vectra for 8 months. When looking around the garage it caught my eye as it comes with all the mod cons such as air con, CD/Radio (with steering column controls) and alloys all as standard. The manufacturer warranty was still intact so that was also grabbed my attention. Good points: - Huge boot, Loads of room, Adjustable steering column, Lumber support on drivers seat, ABS, ESP (Not sure if this was added extra!), CD/Radio, Driver/Front Passenger/Side & Curtain Airbags (Hope not to use), Comfortable ride. Bad points: - Extremely costly tyres, High servicing costs, expensive fuel ... more
