look at it from my point of view.
I need a large car for dog, baby, baby gear, wifes gear, my photo stuff. it needs to be quite new low miles and have a bit of power as well as being good on fuel. nothing else fits the bill. when I get a job I'll get a more sporty car lol

I was thinking this, I had 10k ready to spend on one but at last minute went for a 2.2 "b" SRI instead for half the ££, kept the difference for when i get bored of peformance.. which I havent yet. As for the warranty, I could buy another car with the money I saved!

At the end of the day becuase people say "Vectra" and "Estate" they think of a sh*t crap car... They are actually a really good car, some of the Estates on VVOC are awsome especially the perl blue St200.. If you want a bit of fun as well - lower it! Mine handles awsomed dropped
