Economy
Value
Loads of car and engine for your money.
Costs
Thirsty when pushed hard, but drive it like a girl and it's very good for a V6.

On the road
Driving
Harsh ride at times, predictable understeer in wet and when pushed. Handles very well but nothing like sportscar handling.
Performance
The sport button makes it go very well. A tad slow up to 30 because auto 'box revs to 6250 in sport and you can't beat the noise... lovely, needs 6 gear.

Living with it
Reliability
Vauxhall have never let me down apart from normal wear. Starts first time every time. Nothing wrong as yet.
Image
Although old car, still holds its own, looks lovely, looks fast and still a very good reps car. Cheap for what this car will give you... GO BUY ONE.
Comfort
Very nice leather seats. Hold you well. Easy long drives, needs ajustible steering wheel... you won't be disappointed.

Security
Standard ok. Needs upgrade from standard to stop light fingerd s**ts with a taste for fast cars and their own mums.
