    Replaces the Nova GTE/GSI as a respected hot hatch.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Noisy interior. Sports seats provide good support.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Standard immobiliser and alarm provide sufficient protection.

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Vauxhall"s service, parts, work and general attitude seems to have slipped over the years. I definitely rate them among the worst now. They tried to charge me for parts they did not fit in a service!
