"One of the best hot hatches for the price!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Faulty windscreen washers.

Vibration through the clutch pedal resulting in a new clutch fitted.

Squeaking drivers seat.

Squeaking steering wheel.

General comments?

A very rewarding drive, quick, sure footed and looks good!

Styling kit is a bit disappointing, Vauxhall could have done something more outrageous with its skirts and interior.

Great color in black (if you can keep it clean!)

I bought a Coupe in September. I had a vibration occur through the clutch after about 1000 miles. I had the clutch and thrust bearing replaced in October. Now the clutch is vibrating again, especially in traffic. Vauxhall and the dealer claim there isn't problem with the 2.2 engine or clutch on new Astras, but I'm dubious.

Bought Vauxhall Astra 1.6 SXI in July 2001.Not impressed with the noisy engine. Also had problems with squeaking brakes and now vibrating clutch. The car has only done 4000 miles.

We bought an astra 1.6 sxi and we found that a pinking sound was coming from when you change gear and then going back on to the accelerator. The noise is getting worse.

We have taken it in to get repaired 5 times and gone through customer service and now they are all saying it's a characteristic. which I don't believe at all and am disgusted.
