Reliability
Watch out for oil emulsification under oil filler cap. This is a problem with the twinport engine. Vauxhall don't have a remidy! Steering rack and anti-roll bar wear.
Image
Looks spot on with the M3 styling mirrors and irmscher extras
Comfort
Good. Supportive seats and great handling. Plenty of room to hold 4 adults easily

Security and Service
Security
Deadlocks and remote central locking.
Service
Be careful. If you are a young person, you have a problem with your car and it's under warranty they will try and fob you off! Don't back down until you get your problems sorted. If not, phone Vauxhall head office!
