Lovely car to drive , has plenty of performance acceleration when required. Road holding is leech-like and handling is nicely weighted balanced with good feedback through steering and Sports suspension awith 17" Alloys. Braking is easy and assured , no hysterics , no fadeout , nicely weighted pedal feel..Handbrake is not as impressive , just about does its job! Careful parking on a slope!
Fuel economy (when you consider the performance) is really good working out at(58mpg)overall..63+mpg on motorway at 80mph , around 52mpg in urban/town traffic!
Alternator burnout is common between 90-120K
miles..as is , Dual-mass Clutch failure a well known problem , also the EGR valve jamming/failing and Injector wiring loom problems(there was a recall to remedy)
Heater Fan/Blower thermistor failures are common too.. Water pump & Timing belt replacements are crucial , not to be neglected!
Other wise car is 100% reliable and requires only regular servicing , ie Oil & Filter every
20K miles if using 05-30W fully synthetic Castrol or Mobil..
Love the car , has ample interior space with good boot , good supportive seats.
Dash is typical Germanic/functional but everything works!
a Value for money car! :)

Owened my car now 13 years. Have to say it's never let me down. The 1.8 vvt is one on the best Reliable engines in the Vectra C range with the 2.0T the best. Car comes standard with cruise control and aircon and 17"Alloys. The 1.8vvt comes with 140bhp which is nippy enough for me but can't be mapped unlike the CDTI diesels. I've modded mine with Xenon lights as its known that the standard lights on the vectra with projector lenses is bad. I was lucky enough to pick up a factory fit sav nav from a scappy to give the car that more luxuray look. Thanks to membership at www.vectra-c.com any small problems I've had, the guys on there help me sort them myself. running cost are good with no problems. I get 32mpg city driving around Belfast and up to 43mpg on motorway runs. Heavy foot can see these figures drop by 7mpg.
