Ive never seen a 2 litre turbo vectra c. Cant comment on that but the sri spec is quite good. Has it got sat nav?

170 PS Z20NET Engine iirc
Which hasent been released that long so cant really comment on reliability etc. also i wouldnt have thought there would be too much to look out for on a 07 Plate Vectra, as long as its got good history.

oh i get ya.
but nah not the same engines, may be same block design, but obviously on the astra racing one its had more than a few quid chucked at it.
i should rephrase and say not much tunability for the avergae punter!!
