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

In their own words

It's based on the Astra so good car like handling bit of body roll but was expecting more. Brakes could be better, but on the whole a good car, great all rounder, engine not the most powerful by today's standards but is pretty bulletproof! Gearbox more suited to town driving slightly to low for motorways, if you want to get on, seats and driving position is good, getting in and out is ideal for anyone with back trouble with the slightly raised ride height ( compared to the Astra)good sized boot, unless you using all 7 seats then don't expect to get a pram in the boot! As a used car with 124k on it it's held up well no body rust and no real wear on the seats, parts are fairly cheap, and fairly straight forward to service, very under rated car.

How reliable do you find the car?

Only had a blocked egr valve, easily cleaned out

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

Good useful family car
