Not the performance of the earlier Cavalier V6. Under powered and drinks like a fish 230 miles on 60Liters!!!

High low visibility rear window makes reversing difficult, curved sides make judging rear wheels difficult and who ever came up with those stupid style mirrors needs shooting, you can't see alot and there is a blind spot.
