Well Clive has been on its first proper trip since purchase. . . . . . . .

the windscreen wipers screech with prolonged use.

the rear wiper is VERY intermittant.

the rear parcel shelf creaks.

the stereo is pants over 60

and the speedo over reads by 8 mph at 70 going by satnav

that said it got me down to ferry terminal and is now safely on the top deck of the G3

No, but it brings the tone of the neighbourhood up, unlike a Vectra, which does the opposite.
