It does exactly what it says on the tin. It cruzes well on open roads. You get a lot of spec for your money. Very spacious. A great hatchback for its price. Downside - very heavy eater where petrol is concerned and can be sluggish when taking off. However, my first chevy and I cannot fault it.

Got this car for a great price as a pre-reg car with less than 50 miles on the clock. Very impressed with the fuel econ, road tax, spec and the engine. Great cruiser on long motorway journeys. Also, great room in boot, this car will take my golf clubs and cart with no need to fold down any of the rear seats. (My mate has a new ford focus and he has to fold down one of the rear seats.) Also I like the fact that the rear seats fold forward without the need for the seat bottoms to be tipped forward.very handy and makes it quick and easy to use. Some not so good points, are, it does under steer if pushed hard into corners, but I'm at the age... well you get my drift! Exhaust particulate self clean can be a bit of a bind if it comes on during a quick nip down to the shops etc, requiring a drive around, till it is complete. All in all best car i have owned up till now, can not say about reliability, as of yet, as I have not owned it long enough.

Good value for money - great 1.7 diesel engine, but not big enough inside for me [18 stone]. Stiff suspension, motorway noise at speed, but it's full of extras. I have top spec model and build quality is good for the money. I paid £13,950 new, list price £19,400. After 2 years it has £8,300 value. Good cheap small family American car for Europe.

Not very long since I bought it. Very precise in handling, comfortable and quiet even at cruising speed. Seats are very confortable and not too much roll in bends. Very good value for money. Consumption in line with the type of engine.
