Here in england it's the Vauxhall Astra and i've test driven one a few times with a friend who is getting one soon, very comfortable ride, well balanced controls though the indicator stalks need a bit of practice to get used to, and has a nice amount of engine power even though that's not what you are interested in. Go test drive it a bit, the dealers here let us have the car for 1 hour without supervision to drive around.

You might want to check the mileage as for the first couple of thousand miles the MPG will be absolute crap, probably half the claimed numbers till the engine is worn in.
