Current vehicle is Vectra 2.0 DTi Club which is the subject of discussions in another threads.
I'm looking to replace it with something of similar size & style (i.e. hatch or estate) but better reliability. Not new - probably about £6k available to spend.
When bought this Vectra was relatively low mileage and at a commensurate premium price. But:
A/C needed new radiator - leaking through puncture from stone.
A/C needs refilling every year in common with the Vauxhall Corsa owned by my wife. (So not keen on Vauxhalls!)
Heater fan motor bearing rusted up and horribly noisy - needed complete motor assembly replacement.
MAP sensor failed.
Won't start if parked nose-up for a couple of days - never have found the air leak in the fuel system despite extensive investigation.
Now it suffers an intermittent starting problem.
Local dealer has Skoda Octavia and several Audi A4 available - how would reliability compare?
Ideas?
TIA
