2001 Opel Astra CDE review from South Africa
"I love it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely nothing.
General comments?
Incredible roadholding, equal to a BMW E46 3 series
and superior to a Jetta or Corolla.
Still one of the smartest looking cars around.
Silent, feels solid at high speed, well equipped interior incl woodgrain, steering wheel controls, outside temp indicator etc.
Close the door and it has that solid thunk that
only a German car has.
Very reliable. Never let me down. Thank You Opel.
