Vauxhall Astra Estate 2.0 CDX 5d (1995/N) Owner Review

Economy
Value
Only got insurance value due to write-off. Didn't get much.
Costs
Ok on fuel. Keep lots of money for parts - they need it.

On the road
Driving
Ok. Good position. Not much else to say.
Performance
It was very nippy, even with 4 adults.

Living with it
Reliability
Shocking. If it could go wrong, it did... and then it went on fire.
Image
Nothing to say. They are ordinary. I think they look better than the new model.
Comfort
No complaints. Not good on long journeys.

Security
Nobody would want it. Good deadlocks.
