Summary
What does this car say about you?
My wife drives it primarily and she thinks it looks quite chunky and funky - we also looked at the juke but this seemed a bit more substantial.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Love it - had a lot of compliments about the drive and the sheer number of gadgets and gizmos.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes, though if i was to change anything i'd go for a bigger engine if I was going to drive it more frequently.
What are you likely to buy next?
We've just bought this and intend to keep it for at least 7 or 8 years (given we've got 5 years interest free finance and a 10 year warranty).

Buying experience
Type of dealer you bought from?
Franchised
Did you buy this car new?
Yes
What price did you pay?
£17,995
When did you buy the car?
January 2013
Did you get a good deal and why?
The interest free credit took some of the pain out of buying new (depreciation) as it saved us around £2500 in interest charges.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Wanted a mini SUV, had a partner offer from vauxhall via my employer, lifetime warranty and the 0% 5 yr interest free credit.
What was the dealer like?
Great - main issue we found was availability as the car was launched the week we did the test drive and adding spec would have added 10 weeks to the delivery time.
-
Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Very easy to drive - handles sharply, engine needs to be pushed to get a lively performance but my wife drives it most of the time so 0-60 times weren't a consideration.
What's it like to park?
Relatively easy - i suspect the height would be an issue if we didn't have the parking sensors.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Only had it 2 months but everything working fine.
What's most practical about your car?
Ride height is perfect - boot is a good size for this type of car.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Mine is the bluetooth phone connectivity so it's also to play music from your phone wire free - my wifes is the parking sensors and the kids love the 3 pin plug socket in the back.
