It's a cheap runner but it has some problems. During my ownership i had to replace the turbo because the crankcase ventilation had clogged and formed ice in the turbo and broke it. Now a new fault has showed up, it's only comes when it's below zero outside and when the car is warm. It makes the engine rews go up and down and turns on the antiskid symbol and service light.

Nothing but trouble from day 1, only 56,000 miles on clock. Macpherson Strut, coil springs, Wheel Bearings, Rear Suspension leaking, cambelt, how can so many thing go wrong, Vauxhall are getting away with these common faults and many many people are experiencing these issues, shouldn't be allowed to get away with it. Don't touch it with a barge pole. Gonna drive it through and into Vauxhalls headoffice reception and leave it there.
