Advantages: Sporty, Roomy, Leather seats Disadvantages: Not for 5 people
...Recently I was given the chance to test drive the Astra2-door Coupe 2.0i16vTurbo.
What a car to drive.
For safety, the car has many features including:
ABS braking system
Drivers & front passenger airbags
Height adjustable head restraints
Side impact beams
Energy absorbing steering column
and many, many more.
Other standard features are:
Air conditioning
Internal pollen filter
6 speaker CCR 600 stereo radio/cassette with 4 CD Disc autochanger
17" alloy wheels and others.
The look of the car from the outside, I feel, shows real initiative on Vauxhalls part. It looks very sporty, but inside it is roomy and very comfortable with the leather seats, for 4 passengers.
The boot is made versatile by having a split 60/40 folding rear seat and load-through to boot opening.
*THE DRIVE*
As soon as I switched the engine on I...

However, if your a company car driver or looking for a 2nd hand bargain and don't like the Focus's new edge design then the Astra is worth a look....

Advantages: V. fun drive, good looking, gets u noticed Disadvantages: Comfort, space, features
...If you are looking for the car that will get u noticed, that will turn the heads of even the least likely, then this is the place to look.
With a body and chassi designed by lotus (along the lines of the elise) and an engine built by vauxhall, a lot more powerfull than the elise, this is one hell of a ride.
0- 60 in 4.7 seconds really gives you a kick and it feels great.
The looks of this car beat most super cars and for the price of your average upmarket saloon.
Definitely if u are looking for a thrill, or just want to be noticed driving something that isnt as common as muck then this is the car for u....
