1998 Vauxhall Astra Sport review from UK and Ireland
"Performance and reliability combined with good looks"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Central locking once stopped working, but the driver door still opened.
A Vauxhall dealer fixed it within one day.
General comments?
A brilliant car that feels good to drive, responsive, great handling (it makes you feel confident), sexy looks (a head turner in the right colour).
This is my third Astra, I have had no real problems with any of them.
