The VAUXHALL VECTRA (2005-09) 4DR SALOON 1.9 CDTI 120 DESIGN is a roomy, four-door family saloon from the mainstream large-car class, aimed at buyers wanting space and comfort without a premium badge. Its conventional boot makes it practical for luggage, while the diesel engine suits regular longer journeys and commuting. In the UK used-car market, it is an affordable alternative to cars such as the Ford Mondeo and Volkswagen Passat. The Design trim provides a straightforward, well-equipped feel, and the Vectra is best suited to families, company-car drivers and commuters who value a generous cabin and settled motorway manners. It is less convenient in tight city streets than a small hatchback, but offers more passenger and boot space than compact cars.
