Summary
What does this car say about you?
I chose the EcoFlex model so it says something green. It is practical but has all the luxury toys I would choose on an Audi or BMW but could not afford. In fact if this had an Audi or BMW badge rather than Vauxhall everyone would give it five stars!
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Everyone is very impressed, particularly with the interior quality and specification.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes I could not find a more stylish and well requipped car for the money.
What are you likely to buy next?
Hopefully something a little smaller as the children will not need to carry so much stuff with them.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Smooth and quiet. All controls easy once you have read the manual and set the functions to suit you.

Larger than I am used to but the standard front and rear parking sensors help.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nothing to date.
What's most practical about your car?
Flat load space in rear, rear seats fold flat easily and rear has three Isofix fittings.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Too many standard on the Elite Nav spec to chose a favourite. Really like the infotainment system with I-pod socket. Memory drivers seat useful. Lots of programmable options within the system.
