I had an 08 and had no problems through high mileage. Decent motor and I enjoyed it. Mine was petrol but later Opels have been diesel without complaint.

8 to 10 grand depending on spec.

The diesel engine is a Fiat engine. It's generally a reliable unit.

Two versions; 8v 120bhp and 16v 150bhp. I had one of the former, no real problems despite relatively low mileage. Good torque, poor mid range acceleration.
