Is it just a Vuaxhall/GM thing whereby 'visibility' never gets mentioned during the designing stage ? Or maybe it does but the words 'make sure it has minimal' are put in from of it. #cannotseeanything They do seem to be quite bad. The latest Astra is a case in point. Terrible A-pillar visibility. I hear the latest Corsa is similar. |

Didn't see this thread first time around, very interesting a Vectra B is a prime example of brand snobbery is it really any blander, worse to drive or more boring than a Passat? The answer is no. TBH once they have been given "the treatment" they can look awesome, the stanced one on the previous page is awesome. Anyway have a Vectra C! How do you like them eggs!!!!!!!!  |

Since this thread got posted, my Dad picked up a very cheap 51-plate late Vectra B (2.0 dti) and its been a great cruiser, good on the juice, a bit uninvolving to drive but probably because its built for rep-mileage.
The mirrors are pretty bad though, its because they curve to a point away from you, but the thing just eats up the miles. An estate would make a great parts chaser weapon.
