Default Sarah's new car

After a bit of a hunt, eventually found a nice example of a Vectra Sri, its a CDTI so its doing a fantastic 64mpg on a run which was the main reason for putting the Skoda up for sale, with needing to go to Derby about 15 times in 1 month for her new job, its a 6 speed version with cruise control

As much as it hurts to say it about a Vauxhall that doesn't actually look too bad, bodywork looks well looked after.

I drive one of these at work. . . do over 1000 miles a week in it. . . drive and handle great, top car for running around in???
I'll be looking to buy one when I sell my runaround.


Problems weve had with the 07 plate one at work so far, d.m.flywheel @ 50K , Alternator, front wiper motor.

Bar that they seem to rack the mileage up well. . .

Your Vectra looks
