Just read the Pistonheads thread, surprise surprise usual misguided ill-informed nonsense.

I thought they were supposed to be a bit more intelligent on there? They just come out with the biggest load of crap ever, saying it's crap without even driving it

They are basing their opinions from when they were a sales rep in the early 90's driving a Mk3 Cavalier 1.6 GL in mental blue.

Vaux have come a long long way since back then.

It's hardly ground breaking is it? No chassis changes just a different look to it.
