What's it like to drive?

Actually quite good, I was expecting pain after going from the Vxr but it is quite nippy around town and no real lack of power unless you try to accelerate hard without dropping a gear or two, handling is not to bad either not much feedback but better than a lot of others, suspension is a bit bouncy on country roads but at the end of the day the Vxr range is the out and out sport model so cannot complain.

What's it like to park?

A doddle as soon as you've got your mirrors correct, the front seams a bit long due to the massive dash but the rear is almost flat so where your window ends is where the rear ends.

Size small compact fuel consumption is great compared with the astra Vxr it was replacing,.

Piano black dash, and the look of the ex kit just makes the car look so bulky and complete.
