What happened to Vectra?
The Vectra is dead. Vauxhall announced today that its Mondeo-rivalling rep favourite will be replaced in the middle of next year by an all-new model called the Insignia. In another move inspired by the GTC, the Insignia looks likely to get a VXR version with four-wheel drive and a 2.8-litre V6.
Is Opel Vectra a good car?
Overall, the Vectra is well suited to easy-going, everyday driving, particularly on the motorway. It's a company car favourite, after all, and will plough on all day long at the national limit without disturbing the hush in the cabin.
