The VAUXHALL VECTRA (2002-05) 5DR HATCHBACK 3.2I V6 24V GSI is a large, five-door family hatchback with a sporty edge. In the UK market it sits above ordinary everyday hatchbacks, offering roomy practicality and a powerful petrol engine in a more discreet package than a dedicated sports car. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 185 checks covering 112 different Vectras, giving a useful snapshot rather than a guarantee about any individual car. Checks show an average private-sale valuation of £600, average recorded mileage of 109,000 miles and annual mileage of 4,000; cars checked had about 5.6 previous keepers on average. The V6 gives the GSi lively performance, while the hatchback body makes it practical for family trips, commuting and carrying bulky shopping. It suits drivers wanting space and pace, not the lowest running costs. Against Ford Mondeo and Mazda6 rivals, it stands out for its strong engine and understated, useful shape; check history carefully.
