2003 Vauxhall Astra GSI review from UK and Ireland
"Good all rounder"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No huge problems with the GSI.
The electronics messed up.
Apart from that it was OK.
General comments?
The car was good; had it serviced every ten thousand miles.
This car goes like anything. The GSI is perfect in a straight line, but crap round corners.
Now I prefer the new Vauxhall Astra VXR; it's faster and better looking.
And as far as VXR vs GSI; the VXR for me, but the VXR suffers from torque steer.
The GSI is still a great car.
