Welcome to drive the debate

rapid for what it is; sports button fun; big boot; sports seats comfortable.

Had several faults from new. Noisy belt tensioner in engine; creaky steering wheel; clunk when changing gear first time on any journey from 1st to 2nd. Dealer could not fix faults first time. Changed specification at time of ordering so no trip computer. Expensive for a Vauxhall Astra. Difficult to see control settings for vents etc

Sport button should be standard setting and an economy button in its place. Expensive for a slightly decent Astra. Numerous trips to the garage ruined the experience. Good job it was a company car!
