C'mon!

You can't be too bright if you need to go and ask the price before trying to make something.

Get forced to drive a Vectra every working day and find out the real reason he hates Vauxhall. I'm so happy I have a Ford on short term lease after they scrapped my 4 year old Vectra last week, I'm actually enjoying driving again.

Jeremy was really upset when he tried to get some trim parts for his Corsa.

Some people value their time.

I thought he hated them because Vauxhall called him a vagina.

So did Toyota if I remember correctly, I was in Redhill a few days after he test drove one of theirs and there were constant mutterings, but I stand by my point that anyone who has to drive a Vectra will not have warm fuzzies for Vauxhall.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember "ARWadworth" saying something like:

How very perceptive of Vauxhall.

The new Vectra replacement is getting rave reviews - better than the Mondeo.

And that's meant to be praise? Some people are easily satisfied.

I miss my BMW.

'My' Vectra was 4 years old when it was scrapped, I'm willing to believe that the new one would be better because it would be difficult to think it could be worse.

The Mondeo - or at least the versions I've driven - is an extremely nice car. Light years ahead of the Vectra.

I don't. I still have one. ;-)

It's not that usual for a maker to go from possibly the worst in class to the best in one model change.

See my previous response, it would be hard to believe anyone could make a worse car than the Vectra. Truly fouls, indeed until I was spoiled with the BMW and occasional Audis and Mercs, I would have chosen the Mundaneo every time over the Vectra.

Note, I'm not a Vauxhall hater per-se, just a Vectra hater, the Astra and Corsa are rather nice cars for their class and I've been known (recently in fact) to drive a Zafira as well.

Lucky you. Unfortunately mine was a company car and that company went to the wall for good reasons, the only miracle was that it wasn't sooner.

No, I know. Used to work in garages and dealerships. But I'd still not buy another Vectra if it was my choice.
