  • Economy

    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Still looks fairly modern, especially with body kit (standard).

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Good on fuel. ECU, wiring loom and head went all at the same time.

    Can't fault.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Impressive, but tune it. Much better.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Fantastic until 140,000 miles, but still going after recent costly bill.

    Take it to Southend.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    I've put black leather in it. More comfort than standard Recaros.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Good deadlock. Put a Cat 1 Cobra on it. It saved mine from getting nicked.

    Service

    3 out of 5 3.0

    No real point in going to Vauxhall now.
