Looking for a car, a toy pretty much. Seen this but not sure of the reliabilty, thought the price was not bad for the mileage.

I'd be wanting to see a printout of the 190bhp sri engine considering they are about 168bhp standard.

2.5 v6 vectra isn't a 'toy'.

It's a commuter/family car.

A bit overpriced for a pre facelift. I love the way he is raving about the 190bhp printout thats standard figures near enough for a v6 gsi

You could pick up an ST for not much more if you're lucky, I've seen a few cheap ones lately. Have a look on VVOC or vectrasport

Someone i knew claimed that his 2.5 V6 vectra produced 210bhp. He said he had changed the cams and other parts on the car. Dont know about 210 bhp but it is quick.

Sure you only need to change a few simple things to see 200bhp out the V6 could be wrong !

Vectra's aren't unreliable from what i've seen. my dads last and current car were Vectra's one being 2.5 V6 CDX and the current being 2.5 V6 GSi, and no major problems with either look after them and they will look after you.
