    Not bad. Bigger wheels than normal models, so it handles ok.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Quickish! Not too bad for a big car.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Ok. I think I've been unlucky, because mine's just reaching 100,000 miles.

    Alloys, that's it!

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Not bad. I'm 6' 5" tall, which makes cars to fit in hard to find.

    Pretty good. Deadlocks seem good.

    Service

    Not used Vauxhall, so can't really say.
