On the road
Driving
The chassis is marvelous. Turning is a dream. Great to drive.
Performance
It can shift. In sport mode (auto) it goes like lightening. Engine is very repsonsive in all auto gears. Does slow up a bit on hills until the box changes. Afterall, it is a heavy car.

Living with it
Reliability
Very good. No troulbe, and it has done 119,000 miles. Vauxhall only use semi synthetic oil, and I suspect that Mobil one should be used to help this engine carry the load.
Image
I think the Vauxhall badge doesn't do the car itself justice.
Comfort
Very comfy. Nice seats. Smooth ride. Faultless on that score.

Security and Service
Security
Fine. No problem. Deadlocks. Also it is a little plain (which I don't really agree with as I think it looks lovely) and I think this makes it invisible to the unethical amongst us!
Service
Midlothian Garage Huddrsfield were very helpful and knew what they were doing.
