Yup vauxhalls are just piss poor cars in general. My collegue just got a new (well 2006) corsa, 15k miles, really good condition to look at. Its a reasonably nice car.
Since she got it first week in December:
ALL locks needed changing
headloght knob - fell off
heater direction knob - fell off
radio - needed resetting
battery - needed replacing and some other part to prevent the battery from dying again
alternator - exploded
rear window heaters - half the elements don't heat up
Once again vauxhall have surpassed themselves.
The original Vectra was a really good concept and unfortunately facilitated by morons, thus making it a useless load of crap. A real shame as its a really nice car before the bits start falling of it.
One thing they have got right is the ecotec engines though, sporty, fun and economic.
Not quite a zetec though, is it?
Edit: these are all seperate incidinces too its not like the alternator went which killed the battery and the radio, these are all unique occurrances. It has literally been at the garage more than she's had it.
