Opel Astra

[Hero]

Ang sa pagkakaalam ko lemon ang Opel Vectra...eh kamusta naman ang Opel Astra?....kahit opel in general na rin..kamusta service..parts..reliability?..consumption etc etc! you know the drill! ehehe

[woodfire]

imo, and not to flame our opel owners, mag-second hand bmw ka na lang. parts of bmw can be had even outside the casa (Basics, Mikes Parts, etc...), so you are not held hostaged by the dealerships. my 0.02 cents :mrgreen:

Opel Astra 1.6 - underpowered and interior space is too cramped. Backseat leg space is too small, a corolla ae101 has a lot more leg room. Suspension is a bit on the stiff side, if its a pro or con depends on your taste.

An older model BMW 316 would be a better buy if you are after something european.

although 316s come in M/T only...

I'd go with an older Benz or Bimmer over a brand new Astra. Not that I don't like it. Mas mura lang ang maintenance ng MB at BM and you get to look classier to boot! hehehe.

ganyan ba kabulok ang OPEL? buti pala na udlot pagbili namin ng Opel Tigra for my wife :evil:

[ironarch]

hearsay lang from my friends who had them.....

Sell yours before the waranty expires!!!!

Had two friends with vectras and they had to have major repairs (casa only ofcourse) weeks after the warranty expired.

Also had another friend who had an Astra. He didn't like it either for several reasons and sold it in less than a year.

My brother owned an Opel Astra... sold it after less than two years of owning it. Even if it was a wagon version, it didn't have much more cargo space & legroom than a typical sedan.
