Elvi's view counts for toffee.
Really?
I have you know that I spent 7 months of unhappy Vectra sri diesel ownership (company car) in 2006. The way to light steering and front end, combined with the touch sensitive indicators drove me mad. I complained and junked the piece of sh!t in for a Golf GT TDI.
Build quality is an oxymoron.
but did u test drive one before getting it.
thus highlighting the cars characteristics, not actual problems
i have had a ashtray for 3 years, same indicators, no issues
its a motorway and commuting tool, not a sports car, steering is fine on the ones i have driven but then I didnt expect it to handle like a sports car.
so was it the car, or you and your expectations of it
for the price,
the fact i can get it fixed by the lads at work cheap or free, using all the tools / test equipment,
and it is the same price as a 10 year old VAG with double the miles ( summat they dont know inside out at work )
for my requirements right now its ideal.
And yes, a vectra 150 Sri cdti 06 plate for under 3k
Can you find me one of them? 
theres one on Ebay in south wales
