Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nope, Its a very simple engine which is easy and cheap to work on, Even the Vauxhall dealers service is £99. Only issue is the under the bonnet lip which rust's inside out. This is a known issue but without a recall. I took mine in to vauxhall's and complained and they agreed to put a brand new bonnet on which has a different design to stop water coming into the lip. They did not even put up a fight, they told me it was a known issue and booked it in straight away.
What's most practical about your car?
When you drive the car sensibly you get a good return on MPG Small car good for throwing round town.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Panaramic sunroof option. The Turbo !!!!!!!!!! Man its fast.
