2002 Vauxhall Astra SRi Turbo review from UK and Ireland
"Bad on fuel economy, great on performance!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing at the moment.
General comments?
This car is definately the fastest I've driven so far (0-60 mph in approx 7secs though mine has been modified to achieve this in 5 seconds which beats subaru impreza's!).
Cabin isn't very impressive, but with help from the (expensive) irmisher styling it adds some reasonable extras to look at.
Doesn't take corners very well and braking round corners is a nightmare... I recommend astra owners to get sports spring kits to lower their vehicles and also change the brake pads to the performance ones called "Green-Stuff".
If you want to upgrade your Astra then I recommend going to Regal Sport in Southampton, they can increase the bhp by about 100-200 (mine is now 280 bhp).
