1996 Vauxhall Vectra SRi 2.0 16v petrol from UK and Ireland
Faults:
The gearbox manifold needed replacing (warranty), the ECU Light was on (warranty) - apparently a common problem due to Air Con interference.
General Comments:
Car performed reasonably well when I bought it 5 months ago (Aug 98), since had it Superchipped, has eliminated some of the lag low down and increased mid range performance to make overtaking even more enjoyable.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I very much agree with you about the performance, I have a 2.0GLS and it pulls like anything! The engine sounds wonderful at high revs!
I also agree about the stereo, but the speakers are not good enough for it causing them to blow which I have heard from many others as well!
Recently I had to pay out £1500 for a service because nearly everything went wrong with it! - new exhaust, window washer pump, electric window motor on the driver's side, oil leak in the engine, digital computer with the radio info on, blown speakers, faulty engine management system!
Apart from that, a good family car!
