Advantages: SURPRISING POWER AND HANDLING
Disadvantages: NONE AT ALL

...I bought this car brand new out of the showroom Pre-Registered for £8,000. To be honest I really pushed myself to buy this car but it was the best thing I ever done. I bought my Stilo as they were bringing the new Bravo back and Fiat were trying to get rid of the Stilo's quickly. It was a Special Edition "Blue" which had a body kit and a Buetooth phone system as well. It definitely looked a lot faster than it was but I was only 17 at the time so the 1.4 engine was plenty big enough but definitely wasn't slow. It had 92bhp and had great handling. I owned this car for 6 months and never had anything bad to say about it. The reason that I don't have it anymore is because I wrote it off which I don't like talking about but I couldn't afford to buy another one but if I did it's defintiely the only car I would get.

Advantages: Air conditioning, Volume adjusting for Radio/CD player on Steering wheel
Disadvantages: Not ideal for more than one buggy in car,

...In my opinion the Vauxhall Astra Club, is an ideal family car, there is a spacious boot big enouggh for a buggy and shopping also. The back seat is big enough for two child seats so in my opinion would be ideal for a family of two adults and two children. I myself have a Petrol 1.4i and think that this is quite economical on petrol and is averaging around 300-400 miles per tank. The car feels safe doing seventy miles per hour on a motorway. The car is also ideal for early to mid twenties age range, I think this is a band four or five insurance so would be better for a second car and not ideal for new drivers who have just passed. Air conditioning in the car is great on summer days and I have not experienced this guzzling my petrol when I have this on. The car has 9 memory stations for storing your favourite radio stations and has... Read review
