Good to drive but controls are badly laid out and heating is r******.
The car has climate control which means insufficient for top-down use in winter. You have to take your eyes off the road to change the heater distribution and fan speed - the controls are small buttons rather than "instinctive" rotary knobs.
Seat height adjustment is crude-you have to remove your weight to raise the seat, my wife's 14-year old Vectra has much better control.
Boot is good and the car is pleasant to drive with good performance. MPG typically low 30's gently driven on country lanes.
The ultimate drivng machine? No Way. Buy another? No.
