Summary
What does this car say about you?
It's not a car you'd be proud of owning beyond the age of 23 really!
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Think it made me look like a teenager again!!
Would you buy this car again and why?
No! And beware of unscrupulous people who sell them with FSH. When the 'spanner' comes on the display to remind you to service the car, you just push the two buttons on the speedo together and it resets itself. If when you turn the car on, it says 11500 to next service, check for receipts. If they don't have them, it hasn't been serviced!!!
What are you likely to buy next?
Just bought a Vectra V6 2.6 SRi.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
It's fun if you push it, especially on the B-Roads, but lacks something after driving other bigger cars. And the drivers seat could not be lowered to allow me to sit in comfort, only way was to lower back rest, which meant I was too far away from the gearstick!
What's it like to park?
Easy, its a tiny little car!
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
No, pretty solid engine. Gearbox seems very notchy, stiff and sqeaky, probably on its way out really.
What's most practical about your car?
Small, good handling hatchback.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
It had nothing. Very sub-standard feel to the trim.
