Good. All costs tend to be low or very low. Insurance, servicing, fuel economy all good.

On the road
Driving
Body roll very noticeable! Steering very dead feeling and the whole car tends to crash and bang on bad roads (most of the UK then!)
Performance
Have been overtaken by snails! Will sit at 70+ no problems, but takes an age to get there. As for hills, forget it!

Living with it
Reliability
Very good until recently - single point injection system gave up the ghost as did the idle motor. But plenty of spares available through scrappies etc. So relatively cheap to fix (£50).
Image
Huh? What image!! It does what it was mean't for very well - a cheap, practical car.
Comfort
Seats somewhat hard with little lumbar or side support.

Security and Service
Security

Service
Local Vauxhall dealer has been very helpful with information and will even get the tiniest, cheapest part in for you with a smile!
