Is it not a bit late to asking this question?  ::)
You should have found out everything there was to find out before you bought one!  ;)  :y

I remeber the 3.0 V6 Sintra was fairly quick, but heavier than the Omega with Vectra brakes meant it was not too hot at stopping!

they were nicknamed sintrash, they were not the best car Vaux have produced.

Electrical issues were one of the more common complaints closely followed by trim and fittings falling off.

It was/is an american design that was imported over here and sold under the Vaux name.

A review of them wasn't very good.
