After living with it for a week, ive come to some conclusions. Mostly positive.
Pros :
Runs cheap, pushing 130miles out of £15 of petrol
Quick when required
Loads of room, and the seats are excellent. Im tall, and my back hurts a lot when ive been sat in a car for too long.
Handles Pretty well.
All round disk breaks with ABS. I forgot what a difference they make.
Quiet, The engine purrs. Massive improvement over the old 18S and 18SEs ive had in the past.
Bye Bye boy racer
Aircon, Who needs a sunroof?
Cons :
Torques Steers like mad when you put your boot in on a corner, and the power steering is a little too light to make it easy to correct.
Ride is a bit bumpy in rought roads, but it appears that Vauxhall ordered the car with some extra anti-roll bars and the like (was a Vauxhall owned car for the 1st two years). Probably why it handles better than the R-reg one of the lads I know has.
Its a Vectra, bugger all status for driving one. If i was bothered I wouldnt have bought it though.
