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

In their own words

Overall a great car. Cheap to run and VED is £30 a year. Goes when you put your foot down, tried the 1.2 petrol, lacked mph! Great fuel economy. Plenty of room for 4, bit of a squeeze for five. Great little town car and good on long journeys also. Had from new and was one of the last lifetime warranties from Vauxhall and it’s been great, cheap to keep serviced at my dealership £18 a month and that includes M.O.T.

How reliable do you find the car?

One glow plug replaced under warranty and one at a service. Minor issue as these are easy to replace parts. Upper rear bump stops due for replacement soon but at 7 years old not unexpected.

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

Plenty of room in the cabin, fuel economy is absolutely great! Filled to the brim I have had 600 miles on a long run out of 45 litres and enough to get to a garage still, if driven properly. The cdti also picks up nicely when the turbo kicks in. Heated seats and steering wheel in the front and very nice too. Only gripe is reflection on windscreen and in cold weather screen takes a while to clear inside but shaving foam sorts that out quite well! The 2015 version has a heated screen.
