    My car

    I have driven this car and I thought it was a good drive. I own the previous generation model and the new one just blows it away.

    I would recommend this car to anybody who is after a new look good equipment and a good drive.

    My car

    Last car was a Zafira, hated it. Used to own old model Astra. Not a patch on this one - can't fault it.

    My car

    This car looks great, the front grille, alloys and lights makes the whole exterior look very stylish.

    I like the styling of the interior the flat dash, and computer and CD player column look good and the driving position is comfortable.

    Driving this car in the City, didn’t feel that different to how the mrk 4 drives, It’s when you drive on country roads that this car feels a whole lot better.

    The handling round corners at speed is fantastic the breaks feel great too, the car feels powerful and the ride is smooth. This is great improvement on the previous model. This is a very good car and a joy to drive.

    My car

    Mine is a company car. It looks good. It's great fun to drive, is fairly quick and the handling is pretty good. It took me a while to learn how to benefit from the sport switch but now I have, I use it all the time.
