Faults:

Rotor angle sensor malfunctioned at about 50000 miles and cost £60 to replace.

General Comments:

Excellent headroom.

Fantastic luggage capabilities with the rear seats folded flat.

High driving position, and the fact that the rear seats are slightly higher than the front, allows panoramic views for passengers.

Seats a bit hard, but then all modern cars appear to be the same compared to my old Herald with sprung seats!

Slightly underpowered on motorways, but once up to speed will happily cruise at 70 very economically.

The cabin interior and seats are a bit drab - a shame Vauxhall did not keep the interior of the original Wagon-Rs with bright colours and storage nets in the roof.

Faults:

Sometimes the reverse gear clunks, and I find it hard sometimes to block change gears.

General Comments:

Good little car and good handling. Very high up when you're driving.

Nice runaround.

It's smooth, but needs more power.

I love the PAS in it, and I think it's as light as a feather when you turn corners.

I think the cabin is very plastic, but it does the job.

Faults:

None.

General Comments:

This is my first car and I have to say I have been delighted with it. I have done 1500miles in it and nothing has gone wrong yet. I use it on the motorway everyday to get to university and although it lacks speed it will happily cruise all the way at 65mph. It is absolutely superb in town and the room and comfort are great, I am 6'4 and I fit in and out with no problems at all! The specification was disappointing, but it keeps the Insurance low so I'm Happy. MPG isn't too good for a small engine!!

Faults:

Oil pressure sensors replaced due to leaks at 55000, 65000 and 75000 miles.

Crankshaft sensor faulty at 88000 miles.

Air flow sensor faulty at 73000 miles.

Cam timing chains had to be replaced at 5000 miles (warranty), 65000 and 89000 miles.

Front discs worn out of tolerance at 60000 miles.

Front nearside engine mounting needed replacing at 70000 miles.

Front offside engine mounting needed replacing at 30000 miles (warranty) and again at 75000.

Handbrake cable seized and replaced at 65000 miles.

General Comments:

This car is roomy for a small vehicle.

Maneuverability is truly excellent.

All round vision is outstanding.

Only a 4 seater, newer models are however 5.

Luggage space is excellent with rear seats folded, abysmal without.

Fuel economy is OK, but not what you would expect for such a small car.

The car is seriously underpowered.

There have been persistent rattles from the rear of the car virtually since new.

Faults:

There is a fault with the gear box, in as much that you cannot drop from fifth gear to fourth gear at times without losing your gears completely. Also problems with getting the car into reverse gear. This is an intermittent problem, but can be dangerous when you have vehicles coming up behind you and you suddenly have to pull in and put your hazard warning lights on. Beware! if this happens to you within warranty period push for it to be fully investigated. Although I flagged the problem up to my dealer within warranty, they couldn't find a fault, now it's out of warranty they've acknowledged there is a fault and it looks like I'm going to be stuck with the bill!!!

Also beware that it is possible to 'lose' vehicles (as big as Range Rovers) from sight in the space taken up by the front pillars either side of the windscreen.

General Comments:

Generally a good little car.

Faults:

Very very little. Noticed a problem with the paintwork on the drivers door, it appeared to be cracking under the lacquer. Vauxhall admitted that the car had been "smart repaired" whilst a demo, and they paid to have the door and surrounding area stripped back to bare metal and resprayed.

Other than that, just the obligitary tyres (as expected), brake pads (my fault!) and the remote control battery on the key fob went flat. Nothing serious at all.

General Comments:

Fantastic car for the price, I can't fault mine!

Although it looks small, I'm 6ft 2in and have no problems with it!

Air conditioning is a godsend!

1.2 engine highly recommended over the 1.0!!

Faults:

None.

General Comments:

Except for lack of sound insulation found to be allround good car
