You'll wonder what made us pick the 170hp 2.5 V6 over the 136hp 2.0 4-cylinder. To tell you the truth, the V6 performs well and does not feel strained, it suits the Vectra's chassis well. However, this engine was dropped from the line-up in 2000. On the other hand, the 4-cylinder is adequate enough with the manual while automatics tend to be slow and confused.
CD models can be had with the 4-cylinder engine, airbags, ABS brakes, alloy wheels, roof rails, luggage cover with net, six disc changer, all power amenities, steering wheel controls, keyless entry, trip computer, fog lamps, leather seats, and electronic gas and trunk release. CDX gains 10 speakers (compared to the 6 of the CD).
