I found this car to be worth every penny. Gets about 40-45mpg.

On the road
Driving
Generally, a very good drive. Some body roll, but not enough to be really noticeable.
Performance
It's very sprightly for a 1.0l. I've beaten many a bigger car off the line at the lights (naughty I know).
-
Living with it
Reliability
All that's gone wrong is that I had to replace the front brake pads.
Image
Looks very good, whilst being able to fit in almost anywhere.
Comfort
Seats were quite firm at first but softened up. All the controls seem to fall easily to hand.

Security and Service
Security
Came with central locking, but no alarm. Just keep things out of view.
Service
Vauxhall were quite expensive for services, they quoted me £85 for brake pad change so I did it myself and paid £23.

Takes a while to get the revs up, but what do you expect from a 1 litre car?!

No problems with trim or upholstery. I don't know where the idea of bad trim came in but I found it to be extremely well put together.

Would you buy the same model again?
