“Can't really give this 1.4l Vauxhall Astra Mk2 car a...”

written by SpikeTech2K. on 05/05/2002

Good Points
Get A LOT of car for your money (£500 mint 1991 MK2 Astra)
Sweet engine - revs to high heaven and can withstand a cambelt breaking (unlike most cars aparently), very nice driving position, positive gearbox, comfortable for front seat driver/passenger, uses leaded and unleaded as standard, sunroof, interior looks good, car still looks reasonably modern even though its very old design.

Bad Points
rocker cover leaks, exhaust rattles (but then again, it's still the original 10 year old exhaust), interior rattles A LOT.

General Comments
Can't really give this 1.4l Vauxhall Astra Mk2 car a bad word at all. Apart from it's a bumpy rattly ride, it's been the best £500 I've spent... ever! I looked around at other cars and found I couldnt get but a quarter of the options and comfort as the astra. As for reliability, every old car I've owned/driven is usually falling apart, you just have to look for one that's been looked after, the one I own has been through 2 MOTs now with nothing more than a wiper blade needing changing. My only other complaint is the fact it has an image as a granny car??? surely that's for metros and rovers?
