What's it like to drive?

its not the best to be honest, quite a rough ride even with new springs and new shock absorbers, feel every pot hole, its fast building up speed and comfortable to drive but avoid pot holes.

What's it like to park?

easy, no probs at all, mirrors show good views around car, and mirrors are electric so can be moved to see kerb etc if req.

Have you had any problems with the car?

the car has served me well for over 2 years without any problems at all, have to admit i was surprised at that, recently though car struggles to start after being refuelled but once started it will run trouble free all week until next refuelling, possibly fuel pump problem.

What's most practical about your car?

its very spacious, can easily fit 5 people in the car and the boot is quite big

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

electric windows or air con, and standard vauxhall stereo sounds good
