I love the Vauxhall Astra Mk2 it's great so fast for a 1.4 and engine is very strong. It's my first car and I only had lil probs due to being stolen but still goes fast.

I have had my Vauxhall Astra Mk2 1.4L (H reg) for 1year,8 month with no problems, apart from water pump and drivedog in distributer which can happen to any car. Good boot space,easy to modify car Which I have done on my own without buying new parts, except for the paint. As u can tell I have no bad points about the astra mk2 1.4i, I love my Astra but it is getting a bit old Im on the look out for another to modify to my needs.

Well, Ive had my Vauxhall Astra Mk2 1.4L for just over a month, (J reg 1.4l 5dr) i bought it from auction, for ...£75!! serviced upto 83000, now on 93000 (3000 belong to me) its a crackin motor. i love the front seats, they are really sporty for a car in a bracket for family cars. its engine pulls realy well, the handling is great although i broke a balljoint couple of days after i bort it, had a new 1 on in under 1 1/2hrs (part of the old 1 was still there n DINT want to leave) for £8. the hand brake loves to get the back end out :-)
it does rattle inside a lil, but she is gettin on a bit now, its got really good compression, although drinks a lil oil, but only a lil, and gives me over 400 miles city drivin for £40, although my petrol gauge isnt workin, i always put less petrol in each full tank after 400miles!!!
rear arches are are problem, but it is allowed some faults, and the brakes are pretty good too, my previous car was an 1100cc ax, im getting better mpg better brakes n a strong reliable engine
(i read a review & it said about the cutting out at lights, just advance the idling a little, simple)
