1998 Vauxhall Astra Club review from UK and Ireland
"A commodity car; there's no satisfaction in owning one"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Some plastic covering fell off from the middle aisle of the interior.
General comments?
The seats let the car down. They are uncomfortable and have a continuous squeeking while driving. They feel cheap and flimsy.
The car came with a far inferior spare tyre - so when I had a puncture I had to buy an expensive Michelin. I would have thought that the manufacturer could at least supply the car with five identical tyres.
