It's roomy. Power steering is light. and is comfy. Thats it
There is soooooooo many to mention but what I can tell every 1 is not to buy 1 if your a young person who drives close round corners quick or at speed be cause of the mass amount of under-steer. Due to a poorly made chassis this made the editions of the Vauxhall poor attempts to actually make a good car, as a wonder though even people do actually like this car is mainly older people who drive slow. The worst thing is the lack of power you receive from the turbo of this 1.7 engine, so motorway driving which it is supposed to be built for can be frustrating when you wanting to get off the slip road whilst there is a lorry catching you up till you realize that your actually had it. Another poor point is the consistent electrical problem which must be renowned due to the mass amount of forums talking about the rear lights not work due to corrosion on the plugs for the lights or the bulbs itself getting corroded.
I will be honest it is not a car for the young or middle aged or general adrenaline nuts generation who I admit are a little impatient and want to go fast. but suitable for the slower generation of drivers.
