The VAUXHALL VECTRA (2002-05) 5DR HATCHBACK 2.2 16V DTI SRI is a family-sized diesel hatchback in the UK’s mainstream used-car market. Its five-door layout makes access easy, while the SRi version adds a sportier look to a sensible package. It suits buyers needing extra space without an estate or SUV. The 2.2-litre diesel is best suited to commuting and longer journeys, where its relaxed character can be useful. The Vectra’s cabin and boot make it a capable family or work car, and it offers a more substantial feel than compact hatchbacks, while remaining easier to park than large estates. It’s a practical alternative to rivals such as the Ford Mondeo and Volkswagen Passat. In mycarcheck.com data, 99 checks covered 52 different VINs, a useful sample for this specific version.
