Nice car mate. I bet that flies with the v6 engine and combined with the responsive chassis, & precision steering I bet it embarasses a lot of much more expensive machinery over a challenging B road
What did you have before the Vectra?
i cant work out if your post is taking the mic or genuineWhat did you have before the Vectra?
Why would it be taking the mic?
That creamy and deceptively powerful GM-6 mated to a four speed slushbox is one of the great engine-transmission marriages of the late 20th century.
Couple that with the darty and feelsome steering for which the Vectra is renowned, the taut and communicative chassis that lets the driver know when he is right on the limits of the cars predigious grip by telegrpahing a mere whiff of understeer.
All of which is kept in check by brakes that seems to resist fade after numerous hard stops from 3 figures. What's not to like? All of which is set-off beautifully by the rosewood inlays on the centre console.
Absolutely cracking car.

I bet its relaxing to drive. The wheels look a bit gash though.
I wouldn't call a rear wheel drive drift machine a "relaxing drive" tbf
Relaxing was the nicest thing I could think of to say about it...

Fortunately I can think of lots of nice things to say about Luton's finest precision instrument
See - I just can help eulogising about the mighty Vectra
