2000 Vauxhall Astra Club review from UK and Ireland
"Excellent performance at a reasonable price, and a whole lot more besides..."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A few squeaks and rattles repaired under warranty & brake pads replaced at about 1500 miles.
General comments?
All in all, another fine car from Vauxhall. Cheap to run, and seems very reliable although it's early days yet. My previous car (also a Vauxhall) didn't cost me a penny in repairs over 3 years (only standard servicing costs, which are cheap anyway), and I hope this Astra is the same.
Good all round performance, although in some instances I'd like more torque at lower revs, as the car runs at low revs anyway (I'm seldom over 4500 rpm).
Still, a good engine, comfortable interior and solidly built. Also quite pleased I got it from my preferred dealer for over £4000 off the list price so didn't need to worry about importing. I couldn't find the same spec cheaper anywhere else anyway.
