2002 Vauxhall Astra SRi review from UK and Ireland
"Golf GTI Beater"
General comments?
Very complete all round performer. Excellent handling, would run rings around my previous car, Golf MK3 GTI. Brakes strong and fade free, interior build is good.
Engine performance for a 1.8 is very good, again faster than my 8 valve Golf GTI. Good specification including traction control, ABS, EBS, Air-Con, CD player, Cruise control etc. Insurance group of 9 for performance potential is very good indeed.
Looks best in 3 door, best colour is black.
