Nothing in a period of just under 3 years!!! Except when a Peugeot 405 removed my front right wing two years ago.
The cars 1.4 engine is not as 'horsey' as most other similar sized cars I've driven. But running costs are excellent. If I have to travel and long distances (300 miles in a 24 hour period) I'll take my own car rather that a Jap company car because of comfort.
It feels very solid on the road. For the money it's probably as safe a car as you can get (this is not official). I can speak from experience! I was hit from the side at approx. 20mph and my car was repairable and road-worthy.
That only negative mark for Opel is their main dealers! The service is very unreliable. Promises are often broken and jobs ommited. It is advisable to quiz the service department after a full-sevice is carried out.
In short this car is an excellent buy.
I agree with this review. the Astra is very reliable and also very cheap to run very good car, very hard car to beat.
This is a fantastic car in terms of fuel consumption. It also feels safer at higher speeds compared to other cars of the same capacity. It's very comfortable and the dashboard display is very good as it will tell you when the engine oil is low, your brake light or headlamp is not functioning, etc. It also shows you the fuel consumption as you drive!
