    Great looking car. Better than a Golf 8 according to Thomas from Autogefuhl

    I wish Vauxhall was more British. This is a mashup of French engineering, German design, and British signature.

    Just buy the petrol version . Virtually the same consumption, lighter and a lot cheaper .

      Avoid the 1.2 petrol too as it has a wet belt which breaks up and blocks the oil pickup in the sump same for Peugeot and Citroen.

      @@bondjamesbond9041 Yeah I heard about that too. I bet Vauxhall try to wriggle out of it and blame the customer. I've had my Corsa c Sxi from new and it's still going strong at 16 years old lol. Thinking of getting a mrk 7 golf Golf GTI this year 😁

      See I was hoping to like it. Its very colour and wheel specific whether it looks right or not, get one with the 18s in the red blue or yellow its a looker. It is ungainly with the black 17s in white. 308 wears the 17s in allure way better. However on the 18s its decent .

    Ok outside.
    Very disappointing inside. Materials, slabby, dumb controls grey grey grey.
    Its so easy to design a near perfect car, so why do so many make fundamental design mistakes?
    Regarding rear space, that bonnet length seems excessive.
    I guess this thing has a wet belt too..?
    Previous model far better.
    Vauxhall need a grounded sensible person in charge, someone unswayed by fashion.

    Spend a bit more and buy the new Civic. The Civic is a far superior vehicle.
