1.6 Turbo D 136 Design Nav 5dr Hatchback

Good all rounder

I've driven this car for 15 months now and consider this a good all rounder for the price. Space is excellent, boot space is more than ample for our holiday cases, handling is not as sharp as my previous car (Merc A Class), but is adequate. It is very comfortable on a long journey and is an excellent motorway cruiser.
One niggle i've had with the car since day 1 is a message on the dash 'Reduced clutch performance - reduce clutch use' particularly when in 5th or 6th and accelerating. My local dealership have had it in and tell me that it is a known issue at Vauxhall and they are awaiting a fix. Of 4 cars delivered to my company 3 have had this issue and one of them had the clutch and gearbox replaced and has had no re-occurrence of the problem.
