The VAUXHALL VECTRA (2002-05) 4DR SALOON 1.8I 16V ELEGANCE CVT AUTO is a roomy, four-door family saloon from the mainstream used-car market. It combines a petrol engine with automatic transmission, offering straightforward, relaxed motoring rather than sporty performance. Its traditional booted shape suits drivers who prefer a saloon to a hatchback. With its generous cabin and luggage space, the Vectra is suited to family duties, longer commutes and buyers wanting an automatic without moving to a larger executive car. The Elegance version is a comfort-oriented choice, while the 1.8-litre engine is a sensible everyday option. As an older petrol automatic, economy may be less appealing than in newer, smaller cars. mycarcheck.com records only two look-ups, for one VIN, so this is a limited snapshot. The car averaged 128,000 miles, 21,000 annually, five previous keepers and a £200 private-sale valuation. It competed with Ford Mondeo and VW Passat in Britain.
