1998 Vauxhall Astra LS Estate review from UK and Ireland
"Does exactly what it says on the tin"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front wheel bearing replaced at 55,000 miles.
Wore out front tyres every 12,000 miles.
Rear tyres lasted beyond my time with the car. (69,000 miles)
General comments?
Perfectly nice mode of transport.
Not really a car to get excited about.
Done its job and done it well.
Would recommend to anyone.
