1999 Vauxhall Astra SXI review from UK and Ireland
"Best car I have owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator - Was fixed under Network Q warranty.
General comments?
I like this car, more so than the 2.0l Vectra I had before it. Performance is fine, but I get a lot more mpg, which is good as the price of petrol goes up!
Only had one problem and that was with the alternator failing. Had a problem with the dealer I bought it from now understanding that the car was pretty much undriveable and couldn't wait for a week to be looked at. But took it to another dealer and was sorted within a day with regular updates, so no complaints for that dealer.
Overall, I'm pleased I made the change and I think it is the best car I have owned to date.
