1999 Vauxhall Astra Sport review from UK and Ireland
"Quick, smooth and smart looking car better since I added a rear spoiler"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Air bag light kept coming on. Went back to dealers on 3 occasions until they remedied it by cutting out the connector block under seat and soldering the wires-high resistance they said!
Also it kept stalling and it had to to have the air flow meter cleaned.
General comments?
Seat creaks a bit which is slightly annoying.
Not always easy to select gears, it tends to be a bit tight.
It is quick and loves motorways.
Generally happy with it, but have decided to take out an extra dealer warranty just in case.
