Are the vauxhalls realiable?

Yeah I could say dependability is one of their strengths.

Don't expect much in the way of luxury or excitment in the drive although.

They have had some issues with the Engine Management control valves on some models so I could check that 1st. My pops notice the reference being pops swears by them. When he finished his mortgage off he decided to treat himself to a Jag so we went looking at them. After about a month he decided to get another Vectra that is his 3rd in a row now. He used to work on cars then became a chemical engineer so he knows his stuff.

there as dependable as any other car the only thing is the brain electronic if that goes its somtimes as much as a second car but that is rare

well some are some not
some have soft bottom end eg crank
some have soft top end eg head camshaft
i have a vauxhall sintra 2.2 cd not had any problems with as still but starting to growl on bottom end
common with vauxhall

up till two years ago I used to have Astra's and never had any trouble at all. could still have one but now live in a bungalow and parking is restricted so have a fiesta now.still like Astra's although.

Vauxhaulls are GM they are wicked dependable, may be pretty fast too, like the VX220.

according to the buyer affiliation they're ranked about center for reliabilty above the french makes like renault and peugeot, about the same as BMW or VW..top spot is held by toyota followed by the other japanese makes like honda, then asian makes like hyundi. Bottom place are all the italian makes like fiat and alfa..vauxhall worked hard to get up to their current level as they used to be near the bottom.

Hell yeah, My 2003 Astra went for four years with little trouble flat battery overnight once, jumped next day, same battery for four years . It was a obedient car and generally did as it was told, in the wet.
