Vauxhall Astra Coupe 1.8i 16v 2d (2000/X) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Bought second hand just out of warranty, fully loaded with leather, sat nav, air con and Irmscher styled bertone body. All this for a fraction of the original selling price.
Costs
One headlight bulb in 6 months. Tank can get you 350 miles away easily.

On the road
Driving
Superb to drive. Handles beautifully (although can be a little hairy in the rain).
Performance
Considering the price and kit you get. The performance is lively to say the least. Even on the motorway, you can show those naughty undertakers who is in charge.

Living with it
Reliability
A few minor electrical niggles, but nothing a waggle of a fuse can't sort out.
Image
With no Vauxhall badges, I often get asked "what car is that?"
Comfort
1000 seat combinations ensure comfort. Everything is where you need it.

Security and Service
Security
Double lock doors and bloody loud siren ensure security. Bespoke fit stereo helps as well.
Service
Masterfit know what they are talking about.
