Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Stearing is light and precise. Cornering is sharp. Much, much better than the two vectras i owned previously. Not too fast from standstill as it's an auto box but plenty of power for overtaking at motorway speeds. Very comfortable cruiser on the motorway
What's it like to park?
Good visibility and light steering so good for a car of its size

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
A/C condenser had to be replaced because of a leak, probably caused by a stone as the condenser is in front of the radiator. Central locking failed in front drivers door, fixed under warranty. Nothing major though for a car of this age.
What's most practical about your car?
Loads of room in the boot.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Air-Conditioning although the electric height adjust for the drivers seat is a nice touch when swapping drivers. Heated front windscreen is also handy.
