Summary
What does this car say about you?
I like to be a little bit different , but not to much as the car is basically a Vauxhall Astra underneath . Engine , gearbox , running gear , switches etc etc .....
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They seem to like it . They cant believe the price i got it for either , also impressed with the running costs too.
Would you buy this car again and why?
No as Chevrolet no longer sell new cars in Europe . Which is a shame.
What are you likely to buy next?
Possibly a cross over or suv . Quite like the look of the MG GS , that could be a possibility.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
A little noisey and harsh when pushed hard . Quite hard suspension in city .Fantastic on a motorway and steering very easy to use . Overall very comfortable car to sit in , although seats are set quite low.
What's it like to park?
Very easy to park due to rear parking sensors , it does seem a little wide though and i find it a tight fit in some spaces .
