Thanks everyone,
Yea that was the attraction at first for me, the reputation of Holden and Opel and the fact that its a true European Hatch. Beautiful ride, though it seems these numbers in the paper are fairly optimistic then. Very interesting to see some real world numbers! Great tips too..if I really was in the market for a newer vehicle right now, this would def be in the running.
Side note: It's tempting to buy a new car..but the main drawbacks are the increased insurance and back to monthly payments..as the only way I would have that kind of money sitting in the bank would be in savings or for a reno for the house!
