Not really, I haven't driven a Vauxhall for a long time, which is why I never mention them.

Those two are my first priorities. For fun, of course, I have a bike :-) [Snipped Text]
Hmm, yes, just voted No.1 reliable car too - 2 faults in 100.

Yes, perhaps the Marea isn't the best example of a good car!

Tipo 16v? That's a laugh, the engine was s**te. The Punto isn't a *bad* car, has its unreliable bits, but it's good value.
Of course I compare to Honda, but then you do get what you pay for.

Sorry, having spent 6 years working with Fiat/Alfa, I really don't see anything special about one.
Rust isn't a problem, we never made a warranty claim for that.
Nice for you.
Not at all. I have worked with some cars I do like, and would consider buying. My first choice will always be Honda, I have worked with them over the last 25 years. I have also worked with Hyundai, and for the money, they are bloody good value, and not bad for reliability too.
