1999 Vauxhall Astra Sport review from UK and Ireland
"Hot hatch performance, family car value"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The day after I purchased the car I had to take it back to get the engine management computer reset as the car kept cutting out on me.
New brake calipers required on the back wheels as they were faulty.
All work done under Network Q warranty.
General comments?
Well what a quick little pocket rocket this car really is. Group 7 insurance for this sort of performance is amazing value for money.
0-60 8.5 seconds top speed 127 MPH(claimed)
Solid build quality and excellent road handling all add up to make this car worth considering.
Much improved over the older style astra
Watch and laugh as cars come up behind you and see that you only have a 1.8 engine, and then put your foot down and leave them standing!
