Vauxhall Astra Sport Hatch (2005 - 2010) 1.9 16V CDTi SRi (150ps) 3d (Exterior Pack) (2007/07) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

More interesting than a Toyota driver, less sensible than a Volkswagon driver, more tightfisted than an Audi driver but know a nice looking shape when I see it.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Like it.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yeah, if I was going to buy in this market again.

What are you likely to buy next?

BMW 335d Coupe. I hope.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£14,000

When did you buy the car?

September 2007

Did you get a good deal and why?

Ex showroom with only 3000 on clock, so it came run-in with £4500 off the new price. Bought it at the end of what was a very slow month for the salesman which helps.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Doing bigger mileage and earning more dough.

What was the dealer like?

Helpful

What's it like to drive?

Seats seem good, so is ride. Great for long distances on Motorway with Cruise Control. Good on backroads and massive torque means safe overtaking. Traction control is too overprotective at t-junctions.

What's it like to park?

Don't find it that hard because mirrors are good. The rear visibility hampers it more in busy town driving than parking.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nothing

What's most practical about your car?

Fast and economical, good looking and practical, fun to drive or relaxing and comfortable, depending how you drive it.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Cruise Control, Cornering headlights.
