all I can say is very impressed!! They pull v v well, are a fair bit quicker than the volvo T5's, octavia VRS's and BMW 535d's that we've already got

They also handle v well for such a big car, kept with a scooby STI in some stolen car shenanigans for around 12 miles on some pretty twisty roads, granted the bloke was hardly the best driver in the world but hey! 60mph to 130 is quite impressive, and not one of them has broken down yet!

well done vauxhall!

Good car indeed, I just think people who buy them new would be better waiting 9 months and saving 10 grand.

They're all gonna be bought by company car types, and people who are having a midlife crisis, but need a bigger car than the ashtray

look at Rob H's reply, astra's are loosing a considerable amount of money, so the vectra is likely to do the same

the answer is, never buy a new car

for the job the car is used for, up to 70 mph isn't really the issue, it's all about the poke it has after normal motorway speeds

It's a sad fact that 99% of VX's depreciate as they make so many.

2.8 V6 turbo aren't they?

Big heavy front wheel drive car though Stcheven. I bet the 60-100 time is more impressive. Top speed isn't to be sniffed at either, only good for bragging rights though!
