YES SIMON,a new car to me i love vauxhall vectras and this will be the last one i will have as it is one of the last vectras to be made the last one i had 1999 had covered 264000 miles same engine/gearbox/clutch the 2006 one i have just bought has only done 98000 miles and as i am 72 years young i think it will last me out ,NOW what about the radio any thoughts please ,

Another vote for the Albrecht AE-5890 EU
This one should suit your needs
The dimentions are 24.5 x 15.5 x 5.3 cm

I have a Alinco dr135uk which is about the same size as a car radio, however like you my car doesn't have any place in the dashboard to put it however I just mount a rig bracket to the side of the centre console which works fine.
Check out some of my YouTube channel in my signature to see larger rigs in the car like the York 863,

A Dirland 9353 ( or rebadged variant). These are even smaller than the SS9900's.
