It's an old car so drives like a bit of a nail.

Great performance, acceleration is brilliant. Shame about the handling.

Living with it
Reliability
Mine's never broke down yet, apart from a window wiper seizing on the M6 in the middle of a storm.
Image
Standard ones look pig ugly really, mine has been lowered by 50mm and has some fancy 16" alloys.
Comfort
I've been in more comfortable cars.

Disappointing.
Service
Never really need to use Vauxhall, but they are quite cheap and use genuine GM parts.
