Opel's sporty looking Astra SRi might not be as potent as it appears, but underneath it's a sweet car. A four-door saloon heads the new-look Opel Astra line-up. We've driven it. Opel's new three-door Astra looks great and drives well, though perhaps best in diesel format.Hello everybody, I am seriously considering my next car to be the Opel Insignia B, Grand Sport or Grand Tourer verison. Since I am mostly driving in the city, but still need a fairly large car (we are a family of 4), I am researching the 1.5l Turbo Petrol with the automatic transmission.
Reliability. The Astra gets a very good reliability score, even this journalist has owned one and found it to be virtually bulletproof eventually selling it on at over 350 000km. It is not known for any factory faults and as long as the maintenance schedule is kept too, the Astra can become a multi-generational vehicle.
5 - Vauxhall Astra. The Astra is Vauxhall's second best selling model behind the Corsa, and it has a very expensive common problem for drivers. The gearbox will set you back over £1,000 to repair I have prepared for you a complete visual comparison of two popular cars, the latest generation Opel Astra and the latest generation Volkswagen Golf.
