2002 Holden Vectra GL 2.2 petrol from Australia and New Zealand
Summary:
Average as it gets
Faults:
Timing belt, servicing and consumables.
Headliner sagging near the end of ownership.
Paint fade, not much rust though.
Seats were pretty much collapsed after 100K.
There was more, but nothing serious or expensive.
General Comments:
If you want text book transport, this is the car for you. Boring, and average in all areas, this car will send you to sleep.
On the plus side they are generally reliable (if looked after), repairs and servicing costs are reasonable, not bad to drive but an equivalent Ford will likely drive much better.
Interior is functional, no more. Ride is OK, comfort is fine.
2.2 has a decent turn of speed even with the auto box, and does about 7.3/100KM on average with fuel.
A decent but just not very memorable car. Nothing special at all, but the car never let me down and I do not think they are as bad as some people say if you get a nice one.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I bought a 2002 Holden Vectra. I have only had it 3 months. In general runs well, but had trouble with the ignition and window regulator.
