Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
YES! Handbrake failed causing car to roll and hit 2 other cars, garage and Vauxhall wont do anything about it. Power steering rack leaking - dealer wont fix and the warranty they sold me wont sort either. Front Suspension creaks and bangs - no garage can see a problem so stuck with it unless i replace the whole system. Alternator squeaks in the cold until engine has warmed up. OSD hinge clicks. Engine is a bit ropey when cold. Vibrates a bit when accelerating. Cruise control often fails to work.
What's most practical about your car?
A lot of boot space
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Air conditioning is quite good
