Gold Vectra...

Not sure of the name Vauxhall gave this colour, but it only really seemed to appear on 52 plate Vectras.

I think it looked really smart on the SRi. Anybody on here got one or know the name of the colour?

Lets have a look at what he said and add hindsight...

1 - Aggressive looks, he says no, I say it looks mean from the back

2 - Passat vents, no Passat ones are rounded, the only thing the same is the position in the dash, and even then the VX ones are parted by the MFD.

3 - Bad interior design, perhaps he'd like to compare how well the Vec stands up when hit, a Passat would invite the engine in alongside you, I know I've seen one do it before.

4 -Indicators, well this is an area of how good and adaptable a driver you are, myself I think they are the future, but others don't like them or can't get used to them.

5 - Boot release, doh user error, never had any issues with mine.

6 - Room, being tall I'm not impressed with the rear.

7 - Boot, nothing to add, except thats where 3 inches of the rear legroom went.

There are three main faults with the average totally VX Vectra

1 - Screen cracking
2 - Air Con degassing
3 - Rear link bars

Other than that the car was a good effort,made for motorways with one person who needs to lug kit around, and a very safe place to be in a crash.

I think one the most difficult parts of any car design to make effective to the eye is the rear, and I agree with you, I think the veccy is a very good effort indeed. There's a kind of stubborn slab bluntness to the back of the veccy that looks uncompromising, angry and in your face. I love it as much as the front
