1998 Vauxhall Astra LS review from UK and Ireland
"Tax efficient drive if you don't want prestige"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Steering column bush faulty (replaced).
Interior light fittings fell out (glued).
Bootspace cover fixings are not robust enough for constant removal, and the cogs on the ratchet have broken.
General comments?
Good economical fast cheap company car. Gets a bit tiring on long journeys day after day due to the stiff suspension and seats.
High revs at high speed. Suits me, but I will buy something different next time.
