Vauxhall Vectra (New)

Overall Average Rating - 81.03%
Position in the Top 100 cars - 96th

The Vectra has never quite captured the hearts of owners, and it’s still at the wrong end of the Driver Power 100.

While practicality is good, last for ease of driving and 98th for handling suggest the big Vauxhall can be a handful on the road. And 97th for reliability gives the new Insignia room for improvement in 2010.

Manufacturer Verdict (Position - 33rd)

A step in the right direction – but even though Vauxhall has risen a place, 33rd is poor. Owners say their cars aren’t comfortable or easy to drive, don’t have strong brakes and are too unreliable.
