Auto Express names Vectra Best Family Car

17 July 2002: UK-based Auto Express Magazine has awarded the Vauxhall Vectra (an Opel in Ireland) as the Best Family Car, and also gave the compact Zafira the accolade of Best MPV, for the third time since it was launched in 1999.

AutoExpress said the Vectra 'gives families what they want – comfort, space, refinement, quality, safety, affordability. In one fell swoop, it has leapfrogged every car in the class'.

The Vectra also received honours recently in the Fleet World awards.
