The 2.0 petrol returns a combined figure of 7.8 l/100 km with a 70 litre tank giving a practical range. City running sits higher while steady motorway speeds drop consumption. Unleaded fuel is required.
Servicing follows straightforward intervals. Engine oil and filter change every 20 000 km or once a year. Coolant is renewed every 60 000 km or two years. Brake fluid lasts 60 000 km or three years. Power steering fluid needs only level checks.
Safety kit centres on standard ABS with disc brakes all round and a driver airbag. Three-point seatbelts with grabbers are fitted front and rear. Passenger airbag was optional. No side airbags or stability control appear on this model. An ADAC assessment of the GLX 2.0i gave a solid rating.
Keeping the car means watching for corrosion on sills and floorpans plus checking cooling system health to avoid overheating. Electrical items such as windows and locks can become temperamental with age. Parts remain reasonably available and routine work is simple for a home mechanic or independent garage.
