2003 Vauxhall Astra Astravan LX review from UK and Ireland
"Superb"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No faults to date.
General comments?
Mine is a Vauxhall Astravan 1.7tdi.
I have owned the van for 4 years and to date it has performed faultlessly.
In 55.000 it hasn't cost me a penny apart from regular 20,000mile services, front brake pads and tyres.
It is very economical returning 50-55 mpg driving normally, mostly in rural areas.
There are no rattles; it starts first time every time, and in silver the paint looks as good as new.
The performance is excellent, especially the acceleration, allowing easy overtaking of slower vehicles.
Highly recommended. Can't wait until to try the later model.
