Vauxhall Astra SRi 1.8 hatchback 2002
Review of Vauxhall Astra SRi 1.8 hatchback by neildemmert

Advantages: Affordable, good alrounder
Disadvantages: Cambelt change every 40000 miles (expensive)

...bits for me under the Vauxhall 3 year warranty. If you are going to buy one, do not get a Network Q warranty until the manufactures warranty has expired, it’s pointless and a waste of money, certainly get one after. Conclusion Having worked in the automotive industry for sometime now, I have a fair knowledge of cars and would not hesitate to recommend the Astra SRI (ashtray) to anyone. All things being said they are a fairly average sort of car, ... Read review

THE REAL ASTRA SRi REVIEW (02-04) 1.8 16v
Review of Vauxhall Astra SRi 1.8 hatchback by james_rules2000uk

Advantages: Performance, Cost, Looks
Disadvantages: Common car, petrol and SUSPENSION!

What do I think of the 1.8 Sri mk4 Astra? Well, those of you who might have read my review of my own 1.6 Sxi will already understand why i like the Astra However, would i swap it for the 1.8? the answer is NO! For the extra money you don't get an Awful lot more, the engine is more torquey i'll give it that. acceleration is only slightly quicker but I cant make £35 pounds worth of petrol last 400 miles in the 1.6, in the bigger 1.8 it takes ...

Herby Rides Again?, No its an Astra SRi 1.8!!!!
Review of Vauxhall Astra SRi 1.8 hatchback by Ady-M

Advantages: Great handling, Cruise Control, 125BHP
Disadvantages: Wheel spin with heavy acceleration.

So firstly this is my 2nd car, moving from 1.6 litre Peugeot 306, and boy was I blown away by the vast improvement in switching cars! The handling in the Astra ( SRi 1.8) is excellent, and takes coners with a breeze. From start to 60mph in 9 seconds. And is a surprisingly nippy car, Now for the boring stuff... The gear shift is short and well positioned. The pedals are sited without any offset from the driving position. There is adequate clearance ... Read review

A car that does what you want it to.
Review of Vauxhall Astra SRi 1.8 hatchback by beepbop

Advantages: responsive and quick off the mark
Disadvantages: seats bit too firm

We have had our astra for over a year (it was 12 months old) and although we had astras in the past our last car was a honda accord. The difference between the two, in handling, was huge. The astra is just so responsive. The steering wheel, the gears and especially the brakes (which can be a little too responsive!). The car starts first time and comfortably seats our family of four. Petrol consumption is good and costs us no more than the Honda ... Read review

Review of Vauxhall Astra SRi 1.8 hatchback by mickle026

Advantages: Very reliable car
Disadvantages: fuel consumption not great

Being over 6 feet tall, I found this car very comfortable, with all the gadgets in good locations and the seat being comfortable over long distances. Very comfortable to drive at any speed, and stops very safely. The performance is there when required and will cruise as required, I found the gear ratio good for the 30mph mark, avoiding constant changing up and down. I got a good feeling of control from this car, although it felt a little light on ... Read review

A bargain, good looking car with good performance.
Review of Vauxhall Astra SRi 1.8 hatchback by fezza101

Advantages: Cheap to insure and run. Comfortable, good equipment levels, pretty quick!
Disadvantages: Its not the 2.0 or 2.2 SRI =O(

I bought my 5 door Vauxhall Astra SRI 1.8 just over 2 years ago as a family car. It looked stunning, shiny black and the lovely SRI alloys. The equipment levels in the car were very good, with CD player, remote controls on the steering wheel, ABS, PAS, airbags, traction control etc. I was very impressed. To drive, it is one of the nicest cars i have ever driven, comfortable with enough power to put a smile on your face but not enough to warrant ... Read review

Hey.. it's not a ford, at least
Review of Vauxhall Astra SRi 1.8 hatchback by skuzzle

Advantages: Looks great, goes well
Disadvantages: Bragging rights are weak

I've owned a Mk4 Astra since May 2002. I got myself a lovely looking 1.6 8v Club in Star Silver. Now i can honestly say, it was not the quickest car in the world but very comfortable. And it looked clean and stylish in silver. The biggest shock however was the handling. For such a cheap car, it would be hard to beat. Very sure footed and when it did step out of line was very easy to correct. Anyways, the boy racer in me came alive and i covered ... Read review

Astra 1.8 SRi 2003 5 Door
Review of Vauxhall Astra SRi 1.8 hatchback by j1ohn

Advantages: Looks good, sporty, quick (keeps up with 2.5 V6 vectras)
Disadvantages: Funny Clutch Vibrations, Sometimes a bit Noisy

In General - the engine etc -------------------------------------- The 16v 1.8 Engine of the SRi Astra is fairly responsive and fast, although quite a vocal engine, pulls well below 2500 rpm and excellent above 2500 rpm, and is suited for both town and m/way driving. The car has many notes to its soundtrack, if you are cruising along the mototway 70 ish theres the usual Thrummmmm of the engine, responsiveness in 5th gear is rather good, quickly ... Read review
