New Vauxhall Vectra

Is absolute garbage (IMHO, AND DOES NOT REFLECT THE VIEWS OR THOUGHTS OF RRSPORT.CO.UK NOR ANY OF ITS MEMBERS!!!!!!)

We picked one up from MCR airport on tuesday, an 07-plate 1.8 'life' model in DARK METALLIC BLUE.



Initial impressions?

negatives?

UGLY
DULL
WHEEL TRIMS!(IN THIS DAY AND AGE!!)
DRAB INTERIOR



WHEEZY ENGINE
GUTLESS
SLOW
NOISY
TERRIBLE ROADNOISE
BOUNCY RIDE
COMFORTABLE CRUISE ON M'WAY IS ABOUT 60mph!!!!!

pluses?

BEATS WALKING (Just!)

When we are back in UK in December for 4 days for a wedding I am definitely going to use one of those premium carhire companies and hire something like a BMW, Merc or indeed a FFRR/RRS S/C!!!!! Runner up - 2009 Best Avatar Award Sad

They cannot be that bad as 100,000's of reps drive the things, but there again the drivers probably don't have any choice of company car either!
A friend of mine (it isn't Jay either!) replaced a Disco2 with a 2.0 ltr diesel estate version as he needed a reliable car that could withstand the 30000 miles a year he drives and the D2 spent more time on the back of recovery trucks than on the road. It has never let him down and he rates it much more pleasant to drive than the D2, but pretty useless offroad!. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
