Strong pull for good driveability rather
than outright power, motorway cruising is good. In ascending order, there's
a 1.8 petrol, 2.0 turbodiesel, 2.2 petrol and turbodiesel and a 3.2 V6.
The Vectra has always had a good ride-sharp to drive. Suspension and
steering make it feel more tied down on B-roads, with firm positive
steering.
The absence of significant noise is hugely impressive, and makes the cabin a
hushed place until you are well above the UK speed limit. Even the engines
stay in the background until revved hard, and all the controls, move with
slick precision.
The Vectra's steering column adjusts for both rake and reach and with a
ratchet height lever for the driver's seat and more cabin room, anyone
should be able to get comfortable. Brakes that allow you to stop safely in
mid-corner- with all the extras you'd expect of a car in it's class.
