Weird colour dont think iv seen one in this colour before, like a metallic grey with maybe a hint of brown.

2.0 16v CD auto, electric everything. theres may or may not be an issue with the gearbox but it drives and reverses so it cant be too bad. Nearly out of MOT but im sure i can get it through.

Youre buying a car that *might* have a shagged gearbox?  Dont you think its a bit telling that someones selling it just before its due to get re-MOTd?

it wont fail an MOT on the possibility the auto box is developing a problem.

im taking a calculated risk and its only got to last half a year realistically

having had a good look over it, it will need new tyre or 2 and the handbrake looking at to pass an MOT, theres nowt else wrong with it

Quote from: ClarksonAll things considered, then, this is not just an acceptable effort from Vauxhall (which would be a first) but probably the best family hatchback you can buy today (which is astonishing).

Sadly, though, you canââ,¬â,,¢t have one because it would mean telling your friends and family that youââ,¬â,,¢d bought a Vauxhall. Which is exactly the same as telling them that your whole life has been a failure.

:lol:

Looks nice enough, but the paint, oh the paint! Its so GM! Here theyd likely offer such a scheme on a Malibu and call it "Flesh Champagne Sparkle". :lol:

Thats kinda my opinion but now clarksons said it I know its complete bollocks, yey Vauxhalls.


Theres nowt wrong with brown tho, I had a brown car once and it was awesome.

Brown is good, but brown sparkle is bad. :lol:

Like Chappelle said while in pimpin character: I eat diamond dust so my poo sparkles.

:lol:
