2001 Opel Astra Comfort D review from Mexico
"Very good car, and better than the competition"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Excessive heating in the engine leading to coolant leakage.
One time there was a failure in the transmission control unit; the car only worked on 3rd gear and acceleration was dismal.
Strange rattle noise in the engine.
General comments?
Very good car overall in quality finish fit, and very beautiful engine sound.
However the performance is affected when the air conditioner is on.
Very nice suspension and noise isolation.
Sensational to drive.
