    My car

    I collected my car in mid April 2013 but before i decided on it i looked around and could not find the answers to the question i wanted to know , everyday question i would imagine others would want to know too. Anyway on with my review , firstly the colour .I ordered mine in Asteroid Grey which is the pearlecent option , in the sunlight the grey changes colour , to yellow a reddy brown with a hint of green and blue . In short it looks stunning . Interior , very nice seats with faux leather on the outsides but looks and importantly smells great . Seats are very supportive and are held in place by the large seat bolsters , there is no lumbar adjust though . As of now Vauxhall no longer fit the electric parking brake as standard anymore its now an option . Don't i had one on my Insignia and prefer a real handbrake which the GTC has . The centre cup holders have been changed to the 3 hole variety as apposed to the lift out section previously . the door cards are also trimmed in the faux leather and also have red led lights which illuminate the door bins which looks very good . The only critisism is of the seat belt , there is no height adjustment on the post , I am 6ft 2 and the belt can rub on my neck , but its not too bad . The rain sensing wipers are pretty annoying wipe when you dont want and dont when you do . Automatic main bean is poor also please turn it off i have .Some wind noise from wipers but not too bad . Handles fantastic and goes just a well . Highly recommended.

    My car

    Just bought car month ago fantastic car dont agree with review about car being gutless its not.

    Handles really well and is fast when you get to 3rd gear and accelerate have had no problems already done 4k in it already.

    If you bargain with dealer got price down to £16500
