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

In their own words

started out great. happy with looks and drivability.
all services carried out by Vauxhall.
when the warranty ran out the problems started.
coolant leaks, thermostat failure, engine temperature problems, timing belt disintegrated and blocked oil flow way before it was due to be changed. infotainment issues, centre console cubby hole lid became jammed. sump plug leaks ......... some were taken care of by the dealer out of good faith but really shaken by the reliability issues on a car that's very much still a baby.
The wet belt issues these cars have though is unforgivable....... terrible!

How reliable do you find the car?

wet timing belt failure way before its due for a change
