Vauxhall Astra LS 1.6i estate > Reviews

Advantages: Cheap to run, spacious
Disadvantages: Bonnett discolouration over time

...independently rather than purchasing from Vauxhall as they cost over £300 and are no better than others on market. Of course, as has been said in other reviews, the Astra Estate is a practical vehicle and certainly wont help you set any trends.
