My honest review of the car which had a potential, but in my opinion was ruined by cost cuttings going too far. After spending a couple of days with the car and covering a few hundred miles I could not recommend it. Despite the engine being a positive surprise, the car being comfortable and not bad looking, I feel like the accountants at Vauxhall/ Opel killed this car.
On the other side, I had a new version of a Grandland and I have to say that the quality was on another level. So it looks like Vauxhall took some learnings from it!

Completely disagree, looks better than the 3008 or whatever the stupid Citroen one is, it’s not got a French badge which makes it better anyway and it’s just nicer than the othera and looks far more upmarket than it really is.

The “ugly” wasn’t actually in relation to its look. As mentioned in the video, it looks nice in this version. It’s the quality which is really bad.

It's old fashioned looking and completely outdated inside and out.

@@MalamuteMan1 I think you are right. Unfortunately the design didn’t survive the trial of the time.

Had no problems with my grandland. Had it six years now. The wet belt was changed free of charge by Vauxhall. Great little car. Just done 40000 mile in it. Cheap to insure, just over £200 with Aviva. Got no complaints

Maybe you looked after yours better. The one I had chance to test wasn’t great. I drove version II and it was really good.

Driving this after my Vectra SRI 1.8 it feels like riding a snowflake. 😅 Everything feels light, no resistance on the wheel and gear changing. It looks nice, but there should be a new category of cars next to SUV. I can't imagine splashing into a muddy paddle with this like with the L200.

I don’t think it was a good product. I actually had an opportunity to drive the newest one for 2 days and it was a completely different car.

I disagree, I love my grandland, ok it's not as good as its kia competitor and would have been nice to have just a bit more bhp, but it drive as smooth as silk and at 5 years old hasn't failed an MOT yet. It's a bit daft I have to pop my bonnet to change the window wipers, and the ride when sitting in the back could be smoother. But it's a decent car.

Well, the engine was probably the best part of the car. To me it was the cabin built quality which was the biggest disappointment. I’ve been in cars with 200k miles+ which held better.
