Reliability
Had quite a few problems with this one :( Flat spot in second gear - dealers say this is normal with all 1.8 coupes, if you get this email me :) swingers612@hotmail.com. Ignition and engine mangement faults, done under warranty.

Would look a lot better with styling kit.

Security and Service
Service
Very poor. The main problem with Vauxhall is that they are not mechanics, just technicians. If you get problems, they will only fix it if the computer finds the fault code. Otherwise, they don't have a clue! Sorry Vauxhall :(
