That's how long we had the Signum before I traded it in today.
I left it with a slightly sad feeling, but it's the right thing to do. I took it out for a farewell drive last night, and it's still at it's best in 6th gear, revs low and speed high, with loads of torque to spare.
The rumbling from one of the front wheels on corners, and the groan from the back over speed bumps confirmed that trading wasn't a bad idea.
Oh, well, onwards and upwards, and we've got the Meriva on the drive now. First impressions are that it's carved from a solid lump and feels massive inside for a "small" car.

I like the idea of the suicide doors I bet it give more room to get in and out of the rear.

You'd be VERY glad of the B-pillar if someone t-boned the vehicle.
