    What's it like to drive?

    I am yet to get used to the steering i seem to be correcting it all the time just to stay in a straight line, i have read other reviews which mention this also i am not sure if its down to the stiffened suspension and larger alloys on the SXI.

    very easy i used to drive a vectra so there is a big size difference, however it is impossible to see the end of the bonnet.
