New guy from Fife.

[Nik]

Just a quick hello.

Names Nik,from Buckhaven in Fife.

Just picked up a 2004 Vectra C Sxi 2.2 Direct.Nice big comfy barge.Would have prefered an SRi but meh,i couldn't find 1 in my budget.Now a few have popped up for sale.Happy with the Sxi though.

welcome to vectra c
ive noticed that when you want to buy a certain car theirs nothing so you buy somthing else and then a few days later theirs loads on

Hi Nik, Welcome, the fifers are growing

[Das]

Welcome along.

Not very much difference between the SXi and and SRi, 16" 9 spokes Wheels and Elite/LS Bumpers before 2004, Sports bumpers added after 2004 and just wheels to 16" 5 spoke IIRC. SXi has the sports suspension as standard.

Hi Nik,

Not from the kingdom myself but a scot from Paisley. I just joined the forum a few weeks ago after buying a 2004 2.2 Direct Design and have found it to be a great place to find out whatever I need to know.

Cheers

Welcome mate , Fifers on the up again !!

[Nik]

Thanks for the welcome folks.

Yeah it looks like an SRi/Gsi minus the wheels.Inside i think the only difference is a few cubby holes missing and no trip computer.Can live without those.And its cheaper to tax with it being a Direct.So thats a bonus.

I actually test drove a 2002 SRi and it felt gutless compared to this.

I just sold my Z22SE Mk4 Astra SRi in favour of the Vectra,and if im being honest,its not THAT much slower,even though its quite a bit heavier.With the Vectra being a Z22YH it does have more power and torque so maybe that helps.Dunno.lol.
