Faults:

Nothing more than services and wear and tear parts replaced in the two years I have owned the car. Age such a young age and low mileage, I would not anticipate any problems. The car looks as good as new, but I do cherish it.

General Comments:

The Astra in SRi Vx Line spec is a wonderful car. Nothing special, but Vauxhall have made a hum-drum middle of the road hatchback a very nice car to own and drive daily.

Exterior is gorgeous as is the interior. My car is black with black with black/grey cloth sports seats. Very comfortable and plenty of electrics. Visibility a bit limited, but you get used to it. Rear seats a bit cramped for adult passengers, and the boot space might actually be slight smaller than the previous model (or it might be my imagination) but I am being really picky now. Center console display is also a bit fiddly, but you get used to it.

1.4 turbo petrol engine is a good one, fast while doing over 40 mpg regularly. Not quite averaged the claimed 50 mpg by Vauxhall, but I would imagine this is possible if you take it easy cruising on motorways on long drives.

If you are after a good looking fun to drive reliable car, look no further than a cared for Astra.
