Vectra with 13 year old satnav and 6 forward gears - whatever next!
terry paget:
I have not yet sat in a Vectra. This one pops up 5 miles away. Sounds a bit rich for me, yet interesting. Tell me I am nuts.
zirk:
Ive got an 06 Vectra 1.8 SRi Navi, thats what they Called it, a Manual, Colour CID Screen, mines with LPG that I sometimes run around in, a 5 speed. From memory cant remember if it was the 2.8 or 3.2 Veccy Manual some did come with a rarer 6 Speed Manual Box, dont think it was ever offered on the Lower spec Engines, could be wrong.
By the way, if youve never sat in a Vectra C, you need to try it, dont know what it is about the Seating Arrangements on them but I find it very difficult to get comfortable when driving one of them no matter how I arrange the Seat and the Steering wheel, it just doesnt seem to cut the ice. On mine I have the Clothe Sport Seats, I did have another Veccy 3.2 Elite which I got rid off, that had Full Leather Normal Elite Seats and again really bad positioning especially on long journeys, that was also a Manual, again 5 Speed. On the 3.2 Veccy C kind of ok in a straight line, absolute rubbish around bends, My 3.2 Ex Pold Omega would have left it for dust.
Doctor Gollum:
Full electric memory was a (rare) option on early Vectra C/Signum.
Six speed (manual and Auto) fitted to 2.2 petrol (shit engine, see elsewhere), 1.9 16v 150 diesel and 2.8 petrol and 3.0 diesel. ;)

I did contact the seller, he did not tell me the reg. no., but did tell me the recent MOT history, which was healthy enough.
I have been watching that estate in Bristol for a while, it's an Exclusiv, good, means 16" wheels, and this SRi in Bridgwater, also recent MOT, and with new cam belt, but with 17" wheels
