Vauxhall Vectra - Pictures

Our choice: new vectra (2002-2005)

Last of the Cavaliers is a bargain buy, and V6 offers 160bhp. Post-1994 models have ABS and driver’s airbag

First Vectra carries large chrome ‘V’ on its grille, while interior is a definite advance over the Cavalier’s

CDTI diesel is the engine of choice, while SXi, SRi or Elegance trim levels are in plentiful used supply

Petrol 1.8 16v engine joined the range this year, and is worth seeking out, while the cabin is very solidly built
