On the road
Driving
Can't fault it on the motorway, but wallows on country road corners.
Performance
Not the best. Have heard that the 3.0 litre is the best.

Living with it
Reliability
Had a fuel injection fault when I bought it, but fixed under warranty. Everything else excellent.
Image
I like the look. I think it is classy and elegant and the alloys really set it off a treat.
Comfort
The model I have does not have an adjustable steering column, which is a real shame. I think later models have an adjustable steering column. However, can do 400 miles in a day and still feel good.

Security and Service
Security
Never been broken into, and there is an obvious flashing LED that deters passing criminals.
Service
The original faults were fixed by a Vauxhall dealer, but as car is second hand, I get all other stuff done by local garage (not Vauxhall dealership).
