    Nice to drive, well weighted power-assisted steering.

    Vauxhall's performance hasn't always been tip-top but the 1.8 engine is more than capable.

    Never let me down but ECOTEC engine has been prone to electronic sensor problems.

    3 out of 5 3.0

    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

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Very comfortable driving position and controls easy to hand but road and wind noise can be very annoying.
