I have only ever owned Vauxhalls, 1 x 1.8 SRI cavalier (never let me down in 7 yrs). 1 x 2.0 CDI Omega( As above but in 10 instead of 7) and then this pile of unreliable garbage thats called a Vectra 1.9 CDTI 150!!!! My first deisel, at first wow, economical, fast, good handling then,Turbo Vv, Front shocks, Alternator and now 3rd Injector wiring and all this in 4 years of ownership and only 52K on the clock! Its a pity really that these faults are so well known now, that vauxhall haven't got the courage to recall these cars. These modern cars should be more than capable of doing 250K if you service them on time. Wont buy any more vauxhalls, cost to much to repair

Bought our black Vectra Estate CDTi SRI 150 from new and has since done 30k miles. It was fitted with a diesel tuning ECU at 5k which pushed the BHP up to 206 with 420lbs of torque, totally awesome performance ! When the front tyres (Goodyear NCT F1 Eagles) wear down the car can heavily under steer and majorly in the wet as no traction control, but this can be overcome once your use to the extra power. It gives around 46 mpg with the heavy foot every now and again and 50+ on the motorway at 80/85 in 6th. I have had nothing but fun in this car, the practicality and cheap running costs for the family makes great sense and the power is simply just awesome with such good mpg.

Unfortunately due to very common engine problems (EGR Valve, Injectors, 3rd Injector Wiring, Swirl Valve to name a few) affecting the majority of 1.9 CDTI 150's and the expensive cost of repair this car is not recommended. What should be a car capable of 200,000+ miles in it's life time is certainly disappointing. The Vauxhall warranty is useless and more importantly they won't acknowledge the problems, of which would usually warrant a a recall.

i got my vectra iit looked good it drove really well evrything i allways wanted in a car . untill when the engine blew up and vauxhall wont cover the warenty they gave me some cock and bull story about the tecnical parts of an engine but im not a macanic so what would i know. £350 to investigate what caused the problem the £ 1555 to replace the pistons that burnt out. and then try to tell me that a engine replacement may be needed at cost ot £4600 plus the other charges on top . nearly 6500 to do the work and the car is only worth £8000 . so dont buy a new vauxhall because the warenty is pointless

Overall very happy with this car, it's a good size, seats 5 in comfort. Tows our family caravan with ease and returns reasonable mpg. It's had a few teething troubles with wipers not working and sudden loss of power but on both occasions the dealer fixed the faults under warranty. 6 speed box smooth and cruises along in top gear quietly. Would have another one if the Insignia hadn't replaced the model.

had nothing but trouble with it since i got it,2 turbos intercooler catalatic converter altinator battery steering reck and no help from dealer warrenty still on this car ,stay clear.not bad in 14 months

In the real world (not silly road tests) a very useable car.I have the 6 speed auto elite model,which gives good performance and excellent m.p.g. with all the toys. A most comfortable and relaxing drive,pity its not now made.

This Vauxhall Vectra 1.9 CDTi 150 SRi car drinks diesel. We got it brand new and since we have been using it we have got 28mpg for motorway and round town. It sounds like a tank but the dealer says it will get better. It will get better the day we get rid of it, only 2 years to go. The dealer is not at all helpful, the computer says there is nothing wrong ,so of course they are right. Will we ever buy another Vauxhall? NEVER THEY COULD NOT GIVE IT AWAY. The petrol car we had did 38mpg and that was 2.5lt what an idiot to get rid of it. The auto cleaner is always coming on and drinks the fuel(this will get better) we really hate this car!!!!!!

We have purchased the 1.9 Vectra last week and thoroughly love it. We previously owned a 2003 2.2 Vectra and the suspension was shocking, not to mention the fact that it was in the garage every month without fail - not funny with the cost of parts these days. I guess it was just a 'bad egg' It's amazing just how much better the 1.9 is, the suspension is rock solid, the engine is extremely quiet for a diesel and it holds the road a treat - fantastic car so far....watch this space...oh yeah and fuel economy is amazing!

IVE RECENTLY BOUGHT A VAUXHALL VECTRA 1.9 CDTI SRI XP. STAR SILVER FULL EXTERIOR PACK (VXR BODYKIT, AND 19 INCH SNOWFLAKE ALLOYS). A REAL HEAD-TURNER, LOOKS AND DRIVES SUPERB. IVE OWNED A NUMBER OF VAUXHALLS IN THE PAST AND THIS IS ANOTHER BELTER, GREAT FUEL ECONOMY EVEN BETTER PERFORMANCE ANOTHER QUALITY NETWORK Q SUPPLIED CAR. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS CAR WITHOUT A DOUBT.

i own a Vauxhall Vectra 1.9 CDTi 150 SRi 5dr, i love it. the 1.9 CDTI diesel in the SRI is a fantastic engine producing 150 bhp. the acceleration is awesome and the pickup in third gear is amazing. the boot is huge. the cabin is also a reasonable size. Some materials could be better. but with this much power and the exhilarating rise you will hardly notice. Also the price for a second hand one (6 months old) is very reasonable for the amount of car you get.
