2008 Opel Astra review from Egypt
"A very good car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The rubber cover of the clutches fall off every time I fix them in place.
General comments?
This car is a very good car, you can safely depend on it. Very good mileage per liter, and it's a big winner in saving on petrol, it is a very quick car and it handles perfectly. The only bad thing about it is the seat are so firm that sometimes they hurt my body, I can never sit with my wallet in my back pocket or it will hurt me.
It has a good boot space. I did hit the road on a trip of 350 km doing a smooth 170 km/hr with no problems.
The inside of the car is really well put together, giving you the feeling that it is a one of the top cars.
All around, it is one of the best cars in this price range.
