Further to my previous post, followed Honest John's advice, got tracking checked 2 days after purchase regarding steering feel. National tyres checked it for free, was within tolerances, but advised tyres all at 25psi, (Not checked before delivery?) so steering markedly improved with correct tyre pressures. What was not so nice was that the selling dealer (Pentagon) failed to spot an oil leak from the oil filter pipe to oil cooler, known fault at chevrolet, air con needs to be done, known fault, is a field recall. drivers mirror switch and mirror replaced under warranty also (missed also on pre delivery check). Wondering about Korean Chevrolet quality now, but main dealer service at FRF Swansea has been impeccable. (must add that Pentagon have been very apologetic and contrite and are dealing with the points I have raised) Otherwise now have done 2000 miles in 4 weeks, mostly dual carriageway getting good 40mpg average over those 2000 miles. Also really like the automatic headlights which come on when light levels fall and also the cruise control and 1 touch up and down drivers window. boot is cavernous and it is easy for my 6'2" 100 kilos to find a comfortable driving position and to vary it a bit. also cost me a third of similiarly equipped insignia for age and equipment. No need to worry about depreciation for a while!
So at the end of the day, Yes it is a good car for what I paid for it in terms of comfort and fuel economy.
