1998 Vauxhall Vectra GSi 2.5 V6 from UK and Ireland
Summary:
A very good performer let down by poor dealership support, unreliable and poor build quality
Faults:
June 1999 - 2nd Service, sump plug left finger tight by Vauxhall Dealer, leaking oil.
September 1999 - Car broke down, gearbox problems, no gears! Had reported to Vauxhall 3 weeks before but they could not find any faults.
February 2000 - 5th Service, reported clutch was slipping, dealer could not find any problems. Next day the clutch died and the car broke down!
July 2000 - Central locking broke, could only access drivers down. All other doors, boot and fuel flap locked!! Also smoke coming from the dashboard, Vauxhall dealer took 3 weeks to fix and did not return any calls or update me.
General Comments:
Poor paint quality on the front bumper, paint chips off very easily.
All speakers blown. Car quality is very poor, a lot of rattles.
Vauxhall do not try to sort problems out.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

Poor seat design is definitely the biggest disappointment. Obtaining a comfortable driving position is very difficult.
On the positive side the car is generally good fun to drive, smooth and quiet. The sound system is excellent.
