Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Very good value for money spent. A real quick Vauxhall for its age .
Costs
It is generally an economic car. Granted, if you tease the throttle to much, then you've got to expect to put the fuel in and the boots on.

On the road
Driving
When first bought, very tight on cornering. You can feel how far you can push it before it starts to slide away.
Performance
For a car of this age it still has a go with the best of them. 150 + bhp, a possible 0-60 in around 8-8.5 sec, which isn't bad for 12 year old car. brakes are suited although i did find that the anti lock would come on to easily. A.B.S works!

Living with it
Reliability
Been driving mine for 100,000. It's now on 178,000. Never had any problems, just a battery dieing
Image
Well most people like them, maybe as they are a bit rare. Style isn't bad, especially standard.
Comfort
Ok, not much to say. If you where driving for 800 miles you would want to stop at least 4 timesb but general position is fine

Security and Service
Security
Standard Vauhxall I think. Isn't that good. That's why a majority of cars in the paper have a better choice of alarm/imobiliser
Service
Most of the time, they are great but take too long.
