Very good. Left a 2-litre Vectra for s***. Still wish I had got the 2-Litre.

Living with it
Reliability
Never had any problems whatsoever. Just replaced the battery at 96k miles.
Image
Ok, but I have to admit Vectra, Mondeo and 406 look miles better.
Comfort
Excellent. Roomy and comfy in the back. Massive bootspace.

Security and Service
Security
Central locking, alarm and immobiliser standard. Don't see anyone wanting to nick it though.

Used local garage.
