    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    For a diesel, she's incredible to drive.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Only 318 and Vectra drivers try and take you on - performance very good considering the engine. Sports mode gives an extra kick when pulling away.

    Too new for comment, but no problems.

    5 out of 5 5.0

    With 'M' wheels and low profiles, it sets off the raw look, which gets a second look.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    For long journeys, back support is only complaint.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    5 out of 5 5.0

    With tracker installed, insurance is no major issue for a car with this performance.
