Does cost a lot for what the car is, compared with sleeker and more stylish cars out there.
Costs
Fairly decent for the engine size in terms of fuel consumption.

On the road
Driving
Very smooth and comfortable.

Certainly potent when asked. Power from low rev range is also very good.
-
Living with it
Reliability
No problems to report so far.
Image
With the style kit it looks more sporty. The standard SRi looks very basic. At the end of the day it is only a Vauxhall, so will depreciate quicker than similar cars.
Comfort
Sports seats aren't bad for short journeys, though lack of armrest does annoy and pedals are cramped if you are size 10 +.
-
Security and Service
Security
Comes with alarm and immobiliser which is good, but if they want it they'll get it.
Service
Surprisingly good, though a few 'forgetful' moments are questionable.
