a Vectra 150 SRI. 2.2.

I just been offered one as a run round.

Are this quick ( not imprezza quick) or would you buy the V6 2.5.

Any thoughts

I hired one several years ago and have to say I liked it. It is a quickish car but obviously not scooby quick.

The biggest let down is the front wheel drive.

Just beware of the timing chain, My Dad owned one, his snapped after 12 months (luckily under warranty) and I know several people with the same problem. Personally having driven both I would go for the v6.

Depends on price, I guess.

Not much between them - both poor.........

Bad build quality on the old vectras agreed but the v6 gsi and sri's are not too bad. Not great acceleration due to the colossal weight of the flywheel ,but 70+ come into their stride.

I had one a while back and while it was nothing exciting it did its job and I once managed to get from london to liverpool and back again on one tank of fuel.

They go ok, but feel flimsy.

I'm only going by the couple I've driven through work where they get driven on the limit and are found wanting and breathless.

Fine for normal use, as long as cornering isn't an issue
