Economy
Value
£18K new. I bought mine at 4 years old with 36K on the clock for £5k. Excellent value I reckon.
Costs
Gives good MPG, especially if driven sensibly. Parts reasonably priced and servicing reasonable, even at main dealer.

Driving
With the right tyres, great fun to drive, despite its reputation. Comfortable seats, good visibilty and responsive engine.
Performance
136 BHP and 0-60 in 9s is plenty enough performance for me. Remember this is a family hatchback. Could do with a bit more low-end torque.

Living with it
Reliability
Never had a problem.
Image
Has a reputation as a rep-mobile, but an unjustified reputation as a 'boring' car. I love it.
Comfort
Execellent seats, firm but not hard. Height-adjustable drivers seat with adjustable tilt and lumbar support allows you to find the perfect position. Great for long journeys.

Security and Service
Security
Vauxhall deadlocks and excellent immobiliser do a great job.
Service
