Faults:

I get through headlight bulbs very quickly, and have to pay 15 minutes of mechanic time, making each change £25!

Power steering has failed, but Vauxhall will not accept that this is anything more than fair wear and tear, and have currently offered a 20% goodwill payment. They will not offer anything off if I buy a new one - which I was in the process of doing! I am trying to take it further.

Windscreen washer tank is far too small!

Stalls at low speeds - traffic lights, roundabouts, etc.

General Comments:

Only niggly faults, apart from the current power steering problem.

I love this car, think it's the best I've had since my Mini (less practical for families!)

Come on, Vauxhall, get your act together and sort out these problems!

Faults:

Wow, two other people experiencing similar problems.

Engine revs high when idling, engine management warning lights on.

What a nightmare!

I wonder if this is a recognised problem that Vauxhall know about, but are not coming clean about.

My Vauxhall has been in and out like a fiddlers elbow for repair with this problem.

It's not funny Vauxhall, it's a nightmare, and I feel let down very badly by a car that is otherwise very good.

Faults:

At 3200 miles - the windscreen would not demist without putting the air con on. Returned it to the dealers who did something - and it appears OK now.

At 7400, 7500, 7600 and continually up to 13500 miles the engine cuts out under deceleration (i.e. approaching a junction or roundabout). The car has been in to the dealers on six occaisions for this problem and it has yet to be resolved. I was told by Vauxhall that it was the fuel I was using - I don't think SO!!! Still waiting to hear what this months reason is.

Also find that the trim around the ignition and door handle etc gets scratched very easily making the inside of the cockpit look tatty.

General Comments:

Very poor reliability.

Cutting out causes serious doubts in safety of the vehicle.

Dealer slow to respond

Space and comfort in the car is second to none in this class.

Faults:

Computer glitch caused radiator fan to stay on continually. Fixed by dealer (who unplugged, then reconnected, computer).

Boot release button a little stiff (for my wife).

Heater control switch came loose.

Handbrake needs adjustment.

General Comments:

This car is tremendous.

It is wonderful value for money and suited my self and growing family. The Flex7 seat options mean it doubles as furniture van, builder's lorry, school bus, and holiday transporter.

It is solidly built with good quality fittings.

High-up seating position and bags of room means kids (and adults) love it.

The 1.6 16v engine is quite torquey and well suited to town driving or motorways, but don't expect to win many races!

Faults:

Rear screen heater failed and rear brake binding, both repaired under warranty

General Comments:

As a MPV this is the tops, as the rear most seats fold flat into the floor for storage, the car performs like an estate car with bags of room for such a small MPV, the only down side I have found with the car is that there is no option of CD changer
