This is, without a doubt, THE worst car I have ever owned. For starters it is the most disgusting shade of green I have ever seen, somewhere between baby puke and kermit poo. What were Vauxhall thinking? The engine is lazy, to say the least and sounds more like an asthmatic puppy than a car. When you really need it, don't even bother calling as it will not be there for you. Many people try to "improve" the performance of these things with ridiculous add-on after market gimmicks like air filters and exhaust mods that do little at best and actually REDUCE the BHP and top speed in most instances. Want my advice? Don't even think about wasting your money on rubbish like this, if you want a better car BUY A BETTER CAR...! I eventually got rid of the eyesore by dumping it on some unsuspecting chump after it had developed a bad oil leak. I actually ended up making money on it against all the odds... The guy REALLY wanted it for some reason. :-)

Can i just say that the people who have reviewed here are mad.
This car has only 146 bhp, how can you overtake 220bhp vxrs, and saying it has a 0-60 time of 5.8 secs which may i ad is the same as a 300bhp focus rs is just plain silly, top speeds in excess of 160 mph i dont think so

The Vauxhall Astra 2.2 16 Coupe Bertone Edition is a very nice car, still a great looker... has a certain classic coupe allure which will probably never be out of style. Nice steering, very very stable with the factory sports suspension, good audio in standard, alcantara black/white interior is very nice.

Vauxhall Astra is a great solid car, feel safe at high speeds and feel in total control!ok fuel consumption, even with the 2.2 engine. comfy car, great space in bad of car aswell for all size of passengers. boot a lot bigger than i thought it was going to be aswell.

i have a vauxhull astra coupe 2.2 16v not to 60mph in 5.6 sc
it is really fast. it's reliable it's grippy with it is full estarada wide body kit

The Vauxhall Astra 2.2 16 Coupe Bertone Edition is reliable, comfortable, good looking, very enjoyerble to drive and good performance. A very good car comfortable, great to drive and very reliable.

I have a factory De-badged 2.2 cabrio all black, I have bee to Spain several times with it and people always look at it and wonder what it is.There is only the Vauxhall badge in the center of the boot lid and Europeans don't know what it is as they are used to Opel.

The main thing I liked about the Vauxhall Astra 2.2 16 Coupe Bertone Edition was the power, and this car has a lot of it. I know this because I took it to a test track, put my foot down and these were the results:
TOP SPEED: 165mph
0-60: 5.8secs
Some cars I over took: Mini Cooper S, VW Golf GTi, BMW M5d, Vauxhall VXR220 TURBO and it beat an Audi TT in a drag.

i recently bought my bertone 2.2 16valve, on a 54 plate. im delighted, its much quicker and more powerful than i expected it to be. in my opinion its much cheaper to run, insure and purchase than a bmw, lacks the prestige of bmws, mercs or audis.
slightly dated interior. but certainly packs just as much punch. if thats not good enough, go for the 2 litre turbo which houses an extra 50ish bhp. its a very sporty coupe, and touch wood, has been very reliable so far. quite economic on fuel considering performance,
nippy, quiet enough engine, spacious both in the front and the back, tonnes of boot space.

I have owned the Vauxhall Astra Bertone for 12 months having driven it all over Europe. Apart from a flat tyre it has never let me down. I love it! Flick a switch and the roof is neatly tucked away and you have a sporty speed machine! Fantastic sporty good looking and reliable. What more do you want?

This Vauxhall Astra was specially made to celebrate 100 years of Vauxhall making Cars. I just wish they pull out all the gun. i.e auto seating, sat/nav Hifi, instend of a vdo 500 cd. Very poor.. If you have a chance to buy one of they Vauxhall Astra's. Buy IT...
