The Opel Vectra is a large family car that was engineered and produced by Opel, the German subsidiary of General Motors (GM). In the United Kingdom, the car was sold under the Vauxhall marque as the Vauxhall Cavalier and later as the Vauxhall Vectra, from 1995 onwards. It has also been sold by Holden in Australasia as Holden Vectra, and Chevrolet in Latin America as Chevrolet Vectra.

The Vectra was introduced in 1988 as a replacement to the Opel Ascona and itself was replaced in 2008 by the Opel Insignia, which will retain the Chevrolet Vectra name for the Latin American market.

Opel Vectra Video

tieffliegerbielefeld.npage.de
5.13 min. | 4.62 user rating		 This is a Vectra A (1988-1995) which is considered to be the most succesful model Opel have ever made. It had a variety of engines developing power in the range between 57-204 bhp,diesel and petrol, both front wheel drive and 4x4. Opel also made a Coupe version and named it Calibra, which is the single most beautiful coupe in history. The 204 bhp Vectra had a 2 litre turbo petrol engine. The Vectra on this video had that particular engine, but boosted up to 310 bhp. This car is as fast as Corvette C6 on a drag race. The speed is meassured in KM/H!!! Vectra A - not dead Stratro, mora i tvojata vaka da odi!
1.00 min. | 4.70 user rating		 Opel Vectra B Caravan 2000, 1350 kg, manual 5 gears, 1,6 101 HP 0-100 kmph (0-60 mph)in 12,5 seconds. A little lazy, I may say. Engine sounds ok at high revs and gentle or rather quiet at low revs. Fuel injection stops at 6500 rpm. Stability is ok, not too sporty but comfortable, a little oversteering comes into action when forcing too much (kinda´ wobbly sometimes, I might say) but it remains controlable. A minus is the gear box lever, that is long and a little imprecise. I find the braking pedal too hard to push, wich is kinda´ frustrating, but when you get used to it, it is OK.
