2008 Vauxhall Astra SRi review from UK and Ireland
"Sporty and Sexy!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing at all!
General comments?
Love the Astra SRi 1.7 (100bhp), in the 3 door the car is a class act!
I also have the 18" alloys fitted and that really adds to the drive.
When the Astra advert used to say "Put the fun back into driving" they weren't kidding.
The fuel consumption can be a bit of a joke (38-39 mpg), but I think that may be because of the way I drive. In my defense: this car loves to be thrapped, it's not as fun to drive "gently".
If you decide to get one, get the colour "Silver Lightning", it's a blue/silver and hides the dirt really well and looks sportier than the black!
