1999 Vauxhall Astra SRi review from UK and Ireland
"A great little motor WHEN it's running"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Stalls intermittently when at idle, has been returned for this 4 times, no fix as yet, 3 months after purchase. Stalls in wet conditions whilst moving. Fails to start properly when engine hot. Clutch not set properly from new so crunches when changing into reverse.
General comments?
A nice looking car when you've added the side sills, airdam and rear spoiler but lacking in performance considering how much petrol it drinks (Very thirsty when motorway cruising.)
