    Good value if you can get them cheap.

    Can be a bit costly once they get over 100,000 miles.

    Ex-rep car. What else is there to say?

    Security

    Central looking plays up when it rains, but at least no one would want to steel it!

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Local Vauxhall dealer absolute rubbish. It is about time Vauxhall realised their dealers are rubbish and did something about it. Shoddy workmanship and extortionate prices.
