Rating the OPEL VECTRA 2.2

Looks & Styling :- Looks the most contemporary in its class
Engine & performance :-Feels extremely refined and quick too
Gearbox :- Shift is smooth but needs some effort
Comfort :-Seats are fabulously comfy though legroom at the rear is not the most generous
Driver Appeal :-Impeccable dynamics promote driver confidence but IDS and steering take the edge out of the fun
Build, quality & finish :-A few plastic bits apart,Vectra feels as solid as they come.
Fuel efficiency:-On the thirsty side,thanks to weight and gearing
Air-conditioning:- Works well and individually-controlled left and right vents a plus
Value for money:- Price not announced at the time of test but expected to be on par with the Mondeo NA
Ownership experience:- Solid and dependable but how will dealers service high-tech import?
DIMENSIONS
