Just bought my 4th Astra GTE 16v because I love them. Got a Calibra 16v red top last one made on a l reg. Great looking cars, but not as much fun as the GTE. Selling it because my lass says you cannot drive 2 cars at once, so bye Calibra, Hello GTE 16v!

I have had my Vauxhall Astra GTE 16V for 4 years and I still love it. It may look old but can still keep up with much more 'newer' so call fast cars. Under rated until you race someone! .

I'd just like to say that I've already wrote about my 16v GTE but as I can't find anywhere to add a bit about the 8v I had before I'm putting it here too. The 8v was such a great car that after owning it for 2 years the only car I wanted was a GTE 16v(or maybe a early GSI) The 8 valve was as fast flat out as an RS Turbo of Golf 16V. Mine was a black one and if anyone can't aford to insure a 16V buy one of these instead you'll still be happy. Trust me

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.

Having owned 5 Vauxhall Astra GTE 16v myself now, both standard and modified, I can safely say I know a good one when I see one, or drive it for that matter.
With 156/150* bhp from the box (*=Cat fitted models) and a very lightweight shell, the Astra GTE 16v is an awesome bit of kit, and in terms of bhp/£ there is not a lot to touch it. Top whack you will pick one up for about £2000-2500 but we are talking Leather Edition Champion run-out models (250 Champion and 250 Leather Editi ...

The Vauxhall Astra GTE 16v gives amazing performance, released in may 1988 this was one of the quickest hot hatches about. Excellent acclertion an any gear I can honestly say after owing a dozen of these cars including the champion limited edtion that I am still not bored of this car. Still a head turner and commands respect on the streets the ultimate boy racer car.
