Summary
What does this car say about you?
I keep it spotless and shiny, so it says I care. I drive fast but don't want to look like a boy racer.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Far better ride and practicality than daughter's 2010 Focus, or her husband's older Jag X-type. Loved by anybody who has ridden in it. It's the silence and the ride.

Yes, best car I have ever owned.
What are you likely to buy next?
2008 Vectra 1.9 CDTI 150.
