THE Vectra's indicator stalk is mounted on the left-hand side of the steering column - a bit of a niggle, especially for people who switch between cars.

Also, the separation of air-conditioning controls above and below the radio can be a source of annoyance. The GL Vectra gets manual window winders front and rear, but the power door mirrors are electronically heated when the rear demister is in use. Electronic cruise control is optional and now features a lamp that activates when the system is in cruise mode.
