CO2: 146g/kmDo you online date? Having much luck? Ahh, thought not. Well, this may be why: someone has done a study (bizarre, I know) and found that across 5,000 profiles in which a vehicle is included in the personal picture, the most frequent car and pose is "leaning across a Vauxhall" - probably grinning and wearing a technical fleece, as well. No wonder interest is slow. You need to stand tall with a car that promises a far more seductive package.
