Drive Vauxhall,Rubbish, could not test drive the model i wanted to buy. then after a couple of weeks i was told they could not get me a red car without air con, i had to compromise and get a black car with air con which cost another £850. When i eventually went to collect the vehicle the finance paperwork was all wrong and i had a 2 hour wait for it to be rectified.

What's it like to drive?
