This is the second Vauxhall Astra 2.0 SRi Sports Car I have owned, other cars having included 2 Seat's, 3 Volkswagens, and even a Volvo (all in 6 years).
The two Astras stand out above the rest as being far superior in every way.
Understandably I have not had this one long, so reliability has not been an issue, and touch wood, won't be.
In any gear, it pulls hard, but at low revs, it is very docile, and not a problem in heavy traffic.
It looks as good as any hot hatch if not better - and I personally prefer the 3 door hatch (which I have) over the 2 door Coupe.
It comfortably seats 4 adults - well, it's comfortable for me when there are 4 adults in the car - and that's what matters!!
I have driven Porsches, Audi's, BMW's, and even a TVR, and none has put a smile on my face as much as this Astra.
If you can find one - buy it because they are as rare as Rocking horse poo!

I have now had my Vauxhall Astra 2.0 SRi for 18 months, and I still love it!!

<br/>This car is the best I have ever had, and I have had loads of different VW's, a Volvo, a Seat and I have driven a Ferrari and Porsche on regular occasions. The Astra still makes me smile!!!
