remove #7 man
First up, every car I have owned in the last 20 years has been a Holden Commodore. I know nothing of fast/performance cars or small cars, so here is what I have learned after being in a Vectra CDXI for 1 week.
1. Leather seats are Niiiiiice
2. Torque Steering is kind of cool if you expect it.
3. There are VERY FEW Vectra's on the road.
4. Vectra's accelerate FAST in a straight line.
5. Gear changing is sometimes ODD.
6. Accelerator Pressure is important (Be consistant)
7. Vectra's take a long time to change into 5th gear
8. Smaller cars corner well.
9. A commodore's field of view is MJCH better
10. The Dash Controls are excellent (If you RTFM)
11. Blaupunkt 2620 stereo's are a little flat (speakers might be ok with a decent Head Unit)
12. They are VERY VERY comfortable to Drive.
13. You can fit 2 push bikes in the back easily
14. Trip computers LIE!!!
15. 17" Tyres are expensive.
16. I now know how a flat torque graph feels.
17. Engine growl gives me a hard on.
18. Bigger Mags make sense
19. Don't buy a JS Dash mat for your ZC by mistake.
20. Vectra's are awesome fun to drive
Cheers

#4 is fine, i think he was pulling ur leg
rules in this forum only apply to admitting to breaking laws or hooning of some type
u stating that it accelrates fast is no worse than stating its 0-100 time
but for what #7 was, that speed was above any limit in australia (so without saying it was done on a private road or track, its illegal )
just looking out for ya man lol
Thanks mate. I got off to a rocky start around here so I am being extra cautious.
Massively looking forward to meeting the QLD Contingent on the cruise next weekend though, and Neeko is going to be Tinting my car in a few weeks. I am checking out those 19" Snowflakes too
I have already ordered some Opel bits, and will go further. I just love that damn Vectra so it's hard not to get excited
Cheers
