Living with it
Reliability
Never let me down but ECOTEC engine has been prone to electronic sensor problems.
Image
Nice to look at but will always have the family/rep car reputation. Face-lifted versions from T plate onwards are nicer to look at.
Comfort
Very comfortable driving position and controls easy to hand but road and wind noise can be very annoying.
