2000 Vauxhall Vectra GSI 2.5 24v from UK and Ireland
Summary:
Thirsty money pit
Faults:
Cambelt tensioners died, causing engine rebuild.
Battery died.
ABS rings cracked.
Rose bushes on the way out.
Water pipe split in a hard to reach place.
Thermostat leaked.
Windows getting stuck.
General Comments:
A nice car with the GSI kit, Recaro's, and toys, but expensive to run. I could almost live with the thirsty V6 if it was reliable and had the performance to match, but the extra repairs killed any passion I had for the car.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

You bought a notoriously unreliable 10-year old car (at the time). What were you expecting? These cars were problematic when new, and now they are clunkers.
