The VAUXHALL VECTRA (2005-09) 4DR SALOON 1.9 CDTI 150 DESIGN SNAV AUTO is a large family saloon: a practical, four-door diesel aimed at buyers wanting motorway comfort and useful space rather than a small city car. In the UK used market, it sits among affordable alternatives to the Ford Mondeo, Volkswagen Passat and Toyota Avensis. It is well suited to commuting, regular longer journeys and family duties, with the saloon boot and automatic gearbox making everyday trips straightforward. The 1.9-litre diesel’s strong performance is a useful bonus when carrying passengers, while the Vectra is generally known for generous cabin room and comfortable, steady road manners.
