1998 Vauxhall Astra CD review from UK and Ireland
"A nice, sensible, almost funky little car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
One line in the rear window heater.
Heat shield came loose (fixed free by the dealer).
General comments?
Strange mix of a car. Bit boring looking, but with the free mudflaps looks a little low down and sporty.
Nice cruising ride, but a lot of fun when driven in a sporty way. Turning off a roundabout in second gear at full throtle is great fun!
Almost silent ride in the back, and German build quiality.
Nice stereo and general interior.
Lacks standard alloy wheels, and comes with a stingy one year warranty.
