2000 Vauxhall Astra Coupe Bertone Edition review from UK and Ireland
"Good value, but is it special?"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head lamps steam up.
Alternator failed.
Front spoiler came away.
Alarm was faulty.
General comments?
The car handles nicely and the engine is powerful for the size of car. Excellent value for money with Aircon, Cruise, CD and lots more.
I wanted a stylish car and from most angles this one fits the bill.
I have a nagging feeling now that I should have spent a bit more and gone for a BMW 3 Series or Toyota Celica, as the poor reliability is now beginning to bug me.
Something which I didn't think would bother me, but which does occasionally is the image of this car -- to many people it is just an plain old Astra...
Not sure how long I will keep this car, as you will have probably gathered I am a little disappointed. If no more problems develop I may feel a bit better about it.
