Get a 406, you won't go wrong. You can still see them out on the street running like we're back in 1997.

Forza Nissan!

The Vectra hatchback is awful but the Saloon is beautiful *.*

4:20 this seems a little dangerous...

How did Nissan make such a mess of the Primera with the third generation. A stupid reversing camera impresses no one, and it was crap to drive and noisy.

For attractiveness, I'd take the Vauxhall Vectra first, the Peugeot 406 second, the Ford Mondeo third and the Nissan Primera in last place.

@Cookiefan1876 what kind of hateful son of a bitch would like a Vectra, you heard what Tiff said, it has just 1 strong point and it's as hateful and doll as a Corolla. I would go for a Mondeo, it ahs a lot of strong points and the new one just stands out from other cars like the ordinary and cheap looking Primera.
