    On the bright side, they may have had a security fault, but most thieves would rather walk than steal a Vauxhall!!

    Rumour has it that vauxhall were the first to introduce heated rear windows, so their drivers wouldn't suffer cold hands when pushing them when they invariably failed to start in the winter.

    Problem was, they had no provision to heat the front end of the car when pushing it backwards.  It took a while, but they eventually developed a new spontaneous-combustion feature to alleviate that on Zafira and Corsa models.  It also works great for defrosting a frozen windscreen, competing with Ford's "Quick Clear"...
