General Comments
Having owned a final series Maron 16v, I have to honestly say I absolutely loved the Vauxhall Astra GTE 16V . It can definitely compete with todays hot hatches, and for the money you pay you got a whole lot of performance. I am not going to go on about how great the car is as it suffered from a few characteristic prioblems.



The handling was atrocious a Mx5 or a Micra come to think of it would lose you in the twisties.
