2000 Vauxhall Astra SRi review from UK and Ireland
"Good all-rounder"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Misfire caused by faulty coilpack - fitted new part.
Rear arches are now starting to rust - have just left it for now.
Standard alloys suffer corrosion - got them powder coated.
General comments?
Car is a very good all-rounder. Doesn't excel in any one area, but is competent in all. The performance is there to easily overtake the 40mph doddlers or drive more conservatively and get 35-40mpg.
Now had the Astra for nearly 5 years with no major problems. All maintenance & servicing done by myself.
Interior is a bit dull. Functional, but dull.
