What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

Awful! Every single one I have ever driven (standard hire car) has understeered like an oil tanker on ball bearings. Slight bends in other cars feel like proper corners. In my opinion they border on unsafe. The steering wheel must be connected by a rubber band it has so little communication of what the wheels are doing. The accelerator and brake are dangerously non-linear. Corsas and Vectras are the same. I now specifically ask for anything other than a Vauxhall.

What's it like to park?

The visibility is appaling. No wonder lots get the parking sensors!
