Incontro Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 The new Astra's in the 1.4L turbo petrol guise do sound tempting, with the 6-speed auto. 150PS ain't too bad for a car of that size, roughly equivalent with Focus 1.5L Ecoboost, but you can get it for much cheaper. Of course I'd rather get the Focus, but if budget is tight, then I'd say the gap between Ford and Vauxhall might have narrowed a bit? But if I had one parked in my driveway, I would still wince every time I saw the badge on it lol. P.S: Please don't shoot me, my excuse is that I've had a bad week, so take anything I say for now with a pinch of salt 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazzman600 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 I got it into my head to get a twin turbo diesel astra. I took one for a test drive and totally loved it. It will wipe the floor with the 2.2 200ps mondeo tit x sport. However. The boot is effing small. Just about 100 litres smaller than the focus. So. No astra for me.

GMX Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 "Vauxhall Corsa is worst offender for combined write-off and finance warnings" "Analysis of used car registration searches during April 2015 to May 2016 has shown that the Vauxhall Corsa is most likely to have both a write-off and an outstanding finance marker on it. The Corsa SXI AC was the riskiest overall, with 6.25% of those checked having both these serious warnings and 58.47% having at least one warning. Their average value was £7,348." https://www.mycarcheck.com/blog/vauxhall-corsa-is-worst-offender-for-combined-write-off-and-finance-warnings/?utm_source=151201+Mailable+Customer+Database&utm_campaign=228f84331f-160531+Monthly+Round-up&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_08b17a9abe-228f84331f-122226329 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMX Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 At Tescos tonight, I parked behind, and Brandy peed next to (pre-shopping ablutions) , what was clearly someone who was embarrassed/ashamed to be driving a brown Vauxhall Astra and who would rather you didn't know what it was. The griffin badge on the tailgate had been sanded, somewhat crudely, to remove the overall griffon-ess. The first part of "Vauxhall" had been partiallly broken off leaving "all" and where it been "Astra" it displayed "As" with a new "S" painted in silver next to it. The badge at the front had been prized out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always feel slightly nervous when I see a Vauxhall coming in the other direction, hoping to God that they stay on the correct side of the road!

GMX Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 He'd have to do quite an awkward unnatural manoeuvre of the roundabout junction with the A31, to end up on the wrong side of the road there He'd also have to be a special kind of idiot not to notice the oncoming traffic too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
