Starting Opel Vectra B After 11 Years + Test Drive

[@SummerRoseRacing]

That car is in remarkably great shape for its age, and it definitely looks like a keeper! 🥰

Wow this is in great condition! Hope it gets back on the road!

Yep. Give it a tune-up, fresh fluids, brakes, a fresh clutch, and new tires and it wouldn't be a bad car for a new teenage driver.

This one looks in great condition, like it's about 5 years old. I had a 1999 Vectra B 2.0 petrol, very good car. I now have a 1995 Vectra A.

my dad bought 1.8 98 vectra in 2002,I was born in 98. I had two older brothers. That vectra was ours everyones first car. I sold it in 2019. From the child backseat to my first car was an amazing experience and it was soooo solid car! I am so suprised of that low corossion level! So many memories from this video!

[@nordicheroxo6162]

This car was my first car, but mine had steering wheel controls, leather seats and power seats, but when I saw this video, I got nostalgic. Oh I miss my vectra. Even The paint is the same.

I had the very last Vectra B, 2001 production, 2.2 diesel. A rare version, because the interior was white (seats + dashboard). Very nice and reliable car.

[@Mario-jd2mu]

It's in very good condition for being outside for such a long time. Great video as always.

[@Gremando03]

As someone who drives a Vectra B limousine by myself, this is extremly wholesome and heartwarming for me

[@manuelyanez1511]

What a wonderful car.. I remember it felt like a BMW or a Mercedes. And that one it´s a very good example of the quality built car it was. Nice Job.

[@hikkicrue]

My Dad had one of it. 1.6, 16 V. I loved it so much when I was a little girl! It was all metallic grey, dark interiors .. I would like to buy a Vectra again: reliable and fun to drive. Fortunately, I had the chance to drive it before the selling. It was sold to buy a new Opel Crossland.

[@FrancescoDoria114]

I agree with what you wrote. But rather than the Crossland, I would have kept the Vectra :)

[@michaelshone2465]

That grey Centra battery must be one very good quality battery. You’re always using it on cars, charging, re-using it. Great advertisement for them!

It's a GM car-once fully owned by the US taxpayers, Now private again and 50% owned by the Chinese.

[@massimo6770]

Considering the car must probably be from the late 90s, it was abandoned quite early. Not even 10 years of use. Quite common the idle problem. Thanx for this new relaxing video!

[@carlbernard4197]

Gasoline Direct Injection, you have to clean the intake of carbon because the fuel is injected directly inside the cylinder so there ends up being carbon buildup just above the valve seats. This is why is specified to do a intake cleaning at 100k

the era when Opel was top notch, surprised at how little rust the car has considering the weather. This model is very common where i live, the only downside is the fuel consuption of the Family 2 engines compared to newer cars, but it still a very good car

[@douglascmartins123]

Qual seu país?

[@joyosetube]

Greetings, the Opel Vectra, which has been standing still for ll years, is in very good condition, I believe that with a minimal investment that car could be operational again. This has been demonstrated by the fact that you have not had many complications when starting it, as I have seen that has happened to you with other vehicles. Once again you have done it, you have returned a car to "life" when it was "dead". I say goodbye until the next video.

[@TheMatheuscouto]

My dad has one made in Brazil, its a 2001 with a 2.2L engine, automatic transmission very comfortable and reliable car.

[@Karolo2489]

My two years younger vectra is much more rusty, but i love it! Great car.

that's the benefit of a garage, can last a long time without rusting if stored, I'd prob sell my car instead of letting it rot outside
