 dante187's recommendation | |
What can I say, it looks a MEAN car in silver with the new trim (checkered flag silver against charcoal). My partner is not a fan of cars but was blown away by the look, feel and performance of our 3 door 1.6 16v astra.
Exchanged mine just before the finance ran out on the previous one I bought from new. It's still the best car I have driven and I have had several hire cars in my work, all simply don't compare.
Not sure if I can do anything with the CD player... unlike the old Astra, the cd player is built into the car, rather than as a module... one to watch out for if you have a flash cd/boot changer and want to move it across.
Fantastic - if you are thinking about it, stop - just go do it. I did and I didn't regret it even when I could have saved the money for something else.
If you can GET IT NEW then you will have 3 years of peaceful driving and servicing that cost next to squat - it's worth it, believe you me.
