Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

Nice looking car with good performance. But had several problems including a serious gearbox issue at 50,000miles with which vauxhall didn't even care about. Apparently the oil supply to the sixth gear is not sufficient hence mangled gear box. After owning 5 vauxhalls in the past No more vauxhalls for me.

How reliable do you find the car?

Major gearbox issues at 50,000

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

Economical but descent performance when you feel the need
