Bad Points

Cant really think of any apart from would be nice with a rear window wiper. A tad clattery til warmed up a bit, but soon quietens down. Not really a bad point, but servicing once a year is well worth the investment, main agents are pricey, so it pays to shop around for a decent local garage to do it.


General Comments

Very economical in this time of huge fuel prices. I returned 68 mpg on my 20 mile journey to work recently, excellent mpg for a 150bhp car (it was a 1 off, I generally get 62mpg with an overall average of 53mpg) Low road tax band (I pay £120 / year, my wife pays £95 / half year for a 1.6 Astra). Will take on most things in 3rd gear at around 1800 rpm, its nice to have the power to hand when needed. Well equipped, good climate control and a 6cd auto-changer with a good sound to it. Massive boot space and nice touches like storage compartments for clobber. An all round, well engineered, economical family motor with the power available for safe overtaking. I love mine, and dont think many people would be disappointed if they had one. Its just a shame that they stopped making them!
