The irony is 95% of new cars now (2024-5) could be the subject in this report by C

He should get a couple of mates in and make the exact same program as this in the same locations on the same topics,cow herding in oz but with cars,maybe race around the mine or get all British made cars to a meet in london,i think it could work 🤔🤣 Money for old rope

Very old Top Gear

30 year old car blowing my socks off.

The DeLorean Part made me lol

How cute was Vicki eh

1995 was peak existence for the world. It's all been downhill from then. Luv and Peace.

He pretends he isn't but Clarkson has always been a snobby wanker.

We might wonder where British sportscar industry would have been without that old Oldsmobile aluminum V8 they got their hands on back in the 60s

The W140 and even the e32 were a lot safer.

MORM radio is Mormon Radio

This is why literally everyone in the UK now drives a 3-Series

people in the 90s didnt know how good they had it. indicators? controls? its 2024!

Best in V6 but not Vauxhalls finest moment

30 years old now..... and still looks amazing

I was there

It’s aged far better than Clarkson.

2024 the modern a8 with a v8 is 3 times the price

" It's just a box on wheels. "

Quality car

Opel or Vauxhall Calibra was still the best of their creations.

It's this mr bean?

What is the difference between a 1996 Opel Vectra and Vauxhall Vectra? Other than Vauxhall badging I mean

I still think the interior of this generation A8 looks kind of fresh. It seems to have aged well.

8:14 oh lordy 😍

I watched this SO much years back, realise I know it nearly word for word

TAXSI

these cars handled like they were on rails... when you turn the wheel it kept going straight....

Now you know why this is the family car of the Dursleys in Harry Potter and the philosopher's stone.

My old local taxi firm that took me to and from school had 2 of these Vectras!! One was a maroon 2.0dti ls not too sure what the other silver one was, might have been the same! They were eventually replaced by mainly Skoda Octavias! The boss also liked the newer Vectra so had few of them in the fleet as well!

I had an all leather SRI 140. Stonking car. Engine was lovely and it never missed a beat in 3 years.

It was 1999 and I was a sales manager working in Berkshire. Our cars were replaced every 4 years, with most of them racking up 40k a year plus. I ignored the 318's and 1.8 A4's all my colleagues chose and went for a 4 door Vectra 2.6 SRI, the budget even stretched to adding electric rear windows, CC and metallic paint! My colleagues all 'enjoyed' their wheezing 'premium' German models, while I left them behind with a throaty roar. I bought it off the company with 170k on the clock, the only thing it needed before I sold it with 190k was a new exhaust manifold and a alternator.

Who or what is a Jeremy Clarkson???🤔 A comedian (better Clown?) with an own TV show to road- test cars!!! No seriously combination... Fact one: the Vectra is great by design inside and out. But he didn't understand... Fact two: at this time nobody could know that the car was the poor side of quality! If he had understand he would be a great motor journalist... Verdict: He knows nothing and doesn't understand the design. But what can I expect of a guy with 80s haircut in the mid 90s...? He's the missing member of the Monty Python's group...

I remember as a 90s kid not quite old enough to drive always admiring Audi design. Even the Audi 80 has a timeless elegance. I'm not such a fan of their later designs though (just personal opinion) I think the 90s was peak design for them and likewise bmw. Would love to find a nice example but very difficult to find here in Ireland

I hate the vauxhall vectra I hate am since I was a kid disappointment,ugly bag of shit when my mum was buying a new car I wish it was a bmw,Vauxhall astra But no she got one of this shit boxes 😂 what a joke of a car thank God it got stolen never seen it again the worse car I ever been in 😂 the colour of the car was ugly so has well the inside of the car thank god it got stolen and set on fire

This was when Top gear became more about the Presenter than the car

The saloon looks bad ass.

His finest performance.... { Search: [applause] - no emoji found } ... it was downhill from then on

Name of those 2 songs from the test drive will forever remain a mystery for us

For a beginner, this car is good . After a few years you look for more performance

I wonder how many of the few remaining Vectras in service still have the tyre valve dust cover removal tool?

Ahhhh the vectra.the ride of choice of angry sales reps, council estate tough guys & UKIP supporters back in the day.just don't forget to stick a "ride or die" sticker on the bootlid of your wheezing eco-tech powered shitbox 😂

Really don't understand Clarkson on this one. I liked the design of the Vectra when it came out. And actually, the United States spend over $100 billion on the Apollo Moon mission in 1996 prices, which is almost 100 times as much as GM spend on developing the Vectra. Hence, this episode is factually incorrect as well. However, the Vectra did seem to have a lot of quality issues.

Hahaha - Clarkson's always been a wanker 😂😂 Vectra was n is a great car!!!

What's that pale-yellow car in the middle of the five-car range at the end? That looks like something that never happened...

10:57 Lol, Bottom Gear. 🤣😂🤣😂

Clarkson got gapped by a Vectra for sure.

If only Renault 25 owners back in the day knew how valuable the gearbox was when driving them to the knackers yard. Same with Capri and Sierra owners with Type 9 gearboxes.

Actually the Vauxhall Cavalier MK3 is a German Opel Vectra A

I remember being so impressed by these when they came out, the crash protection however's just awful.
