Depriciated very quickly but a lot of car for the money.
Costs
Parts prices quite erratic some really cheap and some astronomical.

Driving
Lovely to drive, feels safe and surprisingly fast for a 1.6.
Performance
Again surprisingly fast, feels more like a 1.8.

Living with it
Reliability
My car was very unreliable for a few years, but in the past three years no problems only frequent exhaust replacement and heavy tyre wear.
Image
Quite an attractive car, but people do not realise a large car can go so well.
Comfort
Car is very comfortable for long journeys.

Security and Service
Security
Deadlock system should help with security.

Had some initial problems with Vauxhall regarding the wishbone problem and found it difficult to get thier advice without paying for it.
