or buy a Ford Focus similar money better reliability :y


Definately would not agree with the latter statement!

Dont get any real issues wth the Veccy C and would have sold better if it had not been called a Vectra!

Is it true the 3.0 diesel is good to tune? Read on some VeccyC forums, it was detuned cause it was ripping autoboxes apart, same as 3.2.

Don't help when it's spinning driving the front wheels!

Nice little project to install it into a more deserving RWD chassis though  :D

I know its RWD, but until 4WD Insignias are down to usual Vx prices (give it 5 years) it will have to be a VeccyC to fill the gap, unless my 2.2 will last that long  ::)

They do have a serious amount of torque and unlike every 4 pot diseasel these days, its not over blown so has a flatter power delivery!
