    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Quick little car. Hold the revs and it pulls nice and sounds even better. Steering pulls you away though, even with fat tyres as standard.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    3 out of 5 3.0

    A good Vauxhall engine, but exhaust rattly, air vents broke and wipers need replacing.

    Nice sporty looks for an older car. Still an Astra, which you might see some nans in though. Good first car if you can hold the insurance.

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Very nice bucket-shaped sport seats standard. Need to get used to pedals.
