Economy
Value
Expensive to buy but hold value. Excellent level of equipment across the range but particularly on Elegance, luxury!
Costs
Fuel economy is what you would expect for a 1.8. About 30mpg around town, more on open road!

On the road
Driving
Brilliant, just like driving an Astra car, doesn't feel it's size at all!! Some lurching over speed bumps.
Performance
Has no problem arriving at 70 with 7 on board, more comfortable at 60 though.

Living with it
Reliability
Hasn't let me down yet, typical Vauxhall Astra reliability.
Image
The only way to transport 7, including 2 kids, in style!! (Daddy Cool!)
Comfort
Drivers seat can be difficult to get right but comfy when it is, all other seats, including the little' uns are excellent.

Security and Service
Security
Alarm, immobiliser, not going anywhere!
Service
NEVER take your car to Vauxhall dealerships, they did £200 damage to mine (I got a refund but not the point). They didn't even know the engine was the same as an Astra - amateurs!
