Eh hang about Steve ......... I've owned 4 Vauxhalls. Two Cavaliers, 1 Vectra and 1 Astra (which I still drive)

They have all been very reliable, relatively cheap to repair when they do go wrong and three of them did well in excess of 100,000 miles.

The Astra, so far, has done 95,000 miles and in the 6 years that I've had it has only let me down once.

Still I prefer a Saab or a Volvo. I've had 2 Saabs and 3 Volvos and my next car will probably be a Volvo.
