1999 Vauxhall Astra SRi 16V review from UK and Ireland
"Looks good and is rapid"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Windscreen Wash bottle filter clogged up.
Water Temp sensor needed replaced.
Would not start for one week, towed to dealer where it started and ran perfectly. No fault found.
General comments?
The Sri is OK. That's about as far as I can say.
It's a 2.0 and it's rapid. Good economy though.
The handling is excellent (Lotus engineered)
It has been reliable.
Interior is pathetic. It has cruise control and trip computer - don't know why.
The quality and finishing of the cabin is fit for the base model.
The seats are a nightmare to return to their original position (3 door)
It's a good looking car, but is too similar to cheaper alternatives like the Sxi.
I've owned VX for years, but it's time to change - unfortunately!
