vectra's

[Wideboy]

anyone got one or had experience with them?

I'm after the 01-04 2L diesel one but any advice on any model would be welcome plz

no

I have had a Vectra estate not a problem with it at all exelent car very roomy, only thing to watch out for is the keys, they are transponder keys make sure there is a spare, about £100 to replace if not.

Good luck.

iv got an '03 2l diesel good car quite smooth and fast(ish),but the clutch and the steering rack are known faults-but having said that i taxid it and a few people i know used them so we done a higher than ave milage ,if its just gonna b a more 'normal' milage then i think theyr a great car (just dont use it as a taxi)btw after 03 i think it came with a 1.9 cant say about that but its not very powerful i drove one and wasnt impressed not very torquey which was important when ure moving a lot of weight .so in theory its a great car to drive but i wouldnt buy another now (cos they changed the engine ,but a 2l like iv got now -no prob id buy a new one of them )

cuz has the petrol 1.8 elegance on an 03 and he hates it, one problem after another, he much prefers his 1998 transit 2lt diesel.

yes one of them ,similiar colour as mine too

you cant go wrong with transits

Umm, never owned a vaxhuall but I tell ya I would consider a skoda, made with VW parts, same factory just different badage and cheaper to run, ect....I would get one if was going to get a newish car, but to be honest I see cars as runabouts, and don't drive any great distance in them now.

I may get a tranist, at some point for the above reason cheap, and plentful!

yeah I've been looking at a few cars, i had a go in my mates vectra on friday, its the 1.8LS petrol one same shape as the one i want and i loved it.

bearing in mind I'm going from old bangers to my first modern car, meaning having power steering, ABS and so on, i have a pug 106 diesel at the mo but i only bought it as a cheap winter hack with the intention of selling it around this sort of time and getting a nice car
