Just bought a 2002 Vectra SRI 150 Estate (2.2 petrol manual box) to relace our tired old Volvo 740 (2.0 non turbo). Bought it from our neighbour who is a dealer. He had been looking out for a Mondeo or Passat for us but the Vectra came up at a good price so we bought it but we had to make a quick decision before he sold it on. I have just read the previous postings on Vectras and I am now worried that they are not a good tow car. We only have a small 2 berth (about all the old Volvo can manage) but we want to upgrade to a 4/5 berth so we can take the grandchildren and the dogs. Does anyone have a Vectra? Are they any good? It doesnt have a towbar so I may not bother to fit one and just sell it if it wont do the job! What is a reasonable maximum towing weight? I have heard 1500kg quoted, does that sound about right?
Thanks, Jim.
