Driving it
What's it like to drive?
The car moved when flawed, I could leave my friend in his 1.8 16V Astra for dust up to 60MPH. The body roll was a little bit of a problem due to it sitting a bit high up off the ground. The clutch pedal is far too heavy, I was told by the dealers that it was due to the right hand drive conversion process.
What's it like to park?
easy, it had PAS

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
What hasn't gone wrong? The sunroof leaked causing the lights to blow. It eat lightbulbs like smarties and the best bit was the fact that the disk brakes were the shoddiest pile of crap I've ever encountered on any car. They were not up to the job. This car was the most unreliable vehicle I have ever owned, oh and I went through 2 exhaust systems and 1 cat in 2 years.
What's most practical about your car?
It's got an engine and moves from A to B (occasionally)
