Quick, quite pokey at traffic lights, lots of vibration around 20 - 30 mph, cannot seem to park it very well but could just be me.

Does seem van like at times, but mpg is no worse than large cars.

Living with it
Reliability
never had any issues with starting yet
Image
nobody has heard of this car, however when my family and friends saw it, they loved it, even my father in law who has just bought a new zafira - looks like a large zafira with loads more space, interior is a little worse than the zafira but thumbs up from
Comfort
Fantastic - coming from a car with kids - peace - lots of space - seats are really comfortable - much better than Zafira, especially as each seat is individual (keeps kids from hitting each other as much).

Security and Service
Security
Never worked out how to put alarm on yet, however as nobody seems to know what they are, nobody has tried to break in yet - touch wood.
Service
wouldn't use vauxhaull dealer for service / they don't really know much about the model and normally go along with the bad press it has recieved charging a fortune - not any diy manuals on this model, however managed to get a hold of vauxhaul service dks
