can pick them up at a good price now do to it been a small car with big engine and costs abit to tax
for a small car they do go well, and very smooth through the gears and that...
plus there nice and easy to work on unlike renault/pegeot, etc

I like them. Tax is quite off putting though.
As standard, I should imagine it's a good all-rounder.

Not bad imo, the engines aren't too bad. My mate has a Scanguage 2 on his Astra Coupé with the Z18XE (same engine) and it said 144bhp one time, but whether that's accurate or not I'm not going to guarantee
