Vauxhall Vectra
Since launch date in October 1995 Vauxhall has sold more than half a million Vectras, the vast majority as company cars. But while it’s not a bad buy as a company vehicle (thanks to generous discounts, reasonable specifications and a comprehensive warranty), as a used buy it needs to be approached with more caution.
Even the range-topping V6 models fail to set the pulse racing thanks to the long gaps between gear ratios that blunt performance and will frustrate the enthusiastic driver. The bestsellers tend to be the smaller four-cylinder petrol units available in 1.6, 1.8 and 2 litre derivatives. Of these the 1.8 litre is the pick of the bunch. Originally with 113bhp, this increased to 123bhp in September 2000 and endows the car with a 0-60 time of less than 10sec, not far off that of the thirstier 2 litre unit.
High-mileage users may look to the more frugal diesel engines, but these too fail to sparkle. The least powerful, a 1.7 litre, is made by Isuzu, and although reasonably smooth, with only 81bhp on tap its performance will test the patience of all but the most laid-back driver. The 2 litre diesel with 98bhp should feel better but what it adds in pace it lacks in refinement. Only the 2.2 litre diesel unit, introduced in September 2000 and producing 123bhp, is worth serious consideration.
For some buyers acceleration is of little importance; they just want a reliable car that goes from “A to B eventually”. So are these the people for whom a used Vectra is a good buy? Probably not, because the car also has a worse than average reputation for mechanical problems.
Under the skin the flawed design of the car leads to some minor faults being costly to repair. For example, a blown dashboard bulb requires the removal of the entire fascia, and that’s the main reason you find so many second-hand Vectras around with partially-lit dashboards.
Talk to Vectra owners and you will invariably discover a catalogue of faults that typically include failed air-conditioning units and electric windows, and prematurely worn front suspension — all of which can cost significant amounts of money.
The engines also have a few weak points. Timing belts and tensioners originally intended to be replaced every 80,000 miles were revised to 40,000 miles after owners reported premature failure. Diesel models also need to have the mass airflow sensors replaced at about 36,000 miles.
