That is possibly the most amazing thing you have ever said on this forum.
Hmm oh dear I've just drove into a puddle and need to escape, I better not open the door. I know ill exit via the sunroof.
Yes that happens often

Let's be honest, everytime somewhere floods, there's always always photos of cars submerged with just the roof showing, and none of them ever have sunroofs... I'm surprised it's not considered a safety feature for that reason. Escape hatch is an escape hatch at the end of the day...

Am I a light sleeper or a heavy sleeper? Well that depends on how much I've had to drink...

anyone know ?

I was under the impression that Vectra's are larger in every perspective so likely hood is no, but metal is metal and with enough work it can be made to fit.

To be honest the best way to avoid floods is, well, not live in a flood area.

If you live in a flood area, expect floods!

Better still, don't build houses on flood plains like the council are planning to do near Robertsbridge at the moment.

It's basic human psychology to be adventurous at times...... I'll stick with a sun roof thanks :D
