  • Economy

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Cambelt every 40,000 is a pain. £350 from Vauxhall. Other than that, good.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Nice ride, but can be a bit harsh. Excellent cornering ability.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    1.6 16v is ok. Faster than most in class, but if I had my choice again, the 125bhp 1.8 would be good.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Never broken down yet.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Really comfortable sports seat.

  • Security and Service

    Service

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Very poor on quality. Vauxhall don't seem to check over their work once it's done. I have had to return after every service because they missed something. But they are always willing to help.
