2001 Opel Astra Coupe review from Belgium
"Classy medium performance sports car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The electric window at the passenger side jammed after 100 km.
Clutch pedal is sticky.
CD-player malfunctioned from the start.
Water in the headlights.
General comments?
Although suffering some minor faults since the beginning, the car is now perfectly in order. It runs very smooth and yet is very sporty and quick.
I'm very pleased with the car, and certainly the Caprie Yellow color is amazingly beautiful!
