2004 Opel Astra G review from Mexico
"Good, but could be a little bit better"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car consumes a lot of gas, it is far from the 12 km/l that the sales person offered, actually we are consuming around at 6.1 km/l.
Alternator went out at 20,000 km.
Gas Injectors problems at 28,000 km.
The wheel is bit unstable after 120 km/h
Head lights problems since 5,000 km, still present (lost their bright, the adjusting level got damaged), and in general they don give enough light in the road.
General comments?
I share this car with my wife, and I am comfortable leaving her the car to drive it along tough Mexico City’s streets, that means: I trust the car (having a not reliable car in this City might be dangerous).
The car is very comfortable and even luxurious for its class (it has tons of useful gadgets and equipment that make it out-stand).
