Good Points: Acceleration, style and easy to repair if anything were to go wrong
Bad Points: Hard ride, tyre noise, traction control spoils the fun
General comments: Well, all the above reviews are right on in my opinion, for a Vauxhall is probably the best you can by on the market, when you weigh up price and insurance. 0-60 however is slightly out of the above, must have been timing their grandma's driving it cause the onboard trip comp in my Vauxhall Astra Turbo Coupe reads 5.9 sec! Top end is good for 150+ and through the gears it's awesome.
This car wipes the floor with any of your hot hatch's and has been a proven scubby eater. The traction control can spoil the fun a bit but means you can throw the car into any corner without having to have spare boxer shorts to hand.
No turbo lag and awesome acceleration means this is probably the most fun you could ever have on 4 wheels for 6K.

Black with full Irmscher kit, Xenon headlights, cruise control, climate, electric sunroof, etc, etc...
Performance of the Vauxhall Astra Turbo Coupe is stunning to say the least, acceleration in second and third gear is breathtaking, no turbo lag, best accelerating though from above 3000rpm. Because of the size of the doors, getting in and out in a car park can be difficult, The seats while very comfortable and supportive, can get damaged. The edges of the seat are particularly vulnerable to sc ...

I bought my 2001 Astra Coupe Turbo back in January 2004 from Network Q with 40,000 on the clock. I turned down the Civic Type R because of high insurance and much less toys.
The best thing about this car is, it's stunning to look at, and even standard, the performance is outstanding. 0 - 60 takes just 6.8 seconds, and will keep on going until 153mph. The car easily sees off more prestigious cars, such as the BMW 330.
The amount of features is great too, such as electric everything, a/c and ...

I just bought Astra Turbo Coupe in dark blue but at night it looks purple lol. It's a 2001 model with 38,500 miles on it with black leather heated seats 1 owner for 6k I got a real bargain. It's a quick car but you seem to be going quick when you put your foot down until you look at the speedo because engine remains quiet. I just sold my Clio Sport 172 and that seemed quicker off the line but it's not. I timed it with the stop watch and it's 6.8 0-60 and my Clio was 7.1 not much in it but for a ...

I have only just recently bought this car and I think it's prob the best buy I have made with a Vaxuhall. After owning a 1.6 16V I changed to a 1.8 16V and I thought that was fast until I was blown away by this coupe, I was amazed that it still picked up in 5th gear, and the car really does attract attention, as for traction control it's a saftey devce but Vauxhall can fit a switch to allow you to have some fun. Overall this car is amazing I picked mine up at £7,000 with a nice 28k on cl ...

I've had my 2 1/2 year old Vauxhall Astra Turbo Coupe from new and have in the main been pleased as it is a vehicle that is very easy to live with.
Although its mileage is now still less than 20,000, it has proven to be a reliable car other than when the water pump failed at 15000 but this was of course replaced under warranty.
Having recently returned from a drive to Scotland, it must be said that the firm seats did not make the journey a pleasure, so my next replacement vehicle will need to ...

I bought a 12 month old Astra Coupe Turbo from my local Vauxhall dealer. It was already fitted with the full leather pack with heated seats and the full Irmscher styling kit (front spoiler, rear skirt etc.) I got it in Nocturno Blue. Its a very dark pearlescent blue. Probably the best colour it comes in! I added the Irmscher grille, door pins and chrome heater rings. A wise investment! It really lifts the car. I also debadged it apart from the Vauxhall logo on the boot. All in all, its now a stu ...
