Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

Economy
Costs
Vauxhall parts widely available and reasonably cheap.

On the road
Driving
Handles well for a MPV, decent grip - ride is nothing special but good enough.
Performance
Brisk enough, with plenty of mid-range pull - the occasional 'flat spot' though.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Has never let me down so far.
Image
Not really a crowd-puller - purchased with the head and not the heart.
Comfort
Driving position not ideal for a tall person - seat doesn't go back far enough, gearstick is so far back that you end up whacking the arm rest when going into 2nd or 4th gear. Other seats are fine.
-
Security and Service
Security
Alarm & immobiliser, but no deadlocks.
Service
Vauxhall dealers far from the worst, although you don't exactly get the red carpet laid out.
