I agree with everyone who has written well about the Opel Astra. I myself have owned one, which I crashed, and then bought another, this time a Petrol Club.
It is a great car to drive, with sleek looks and an awesome suspension. Mileage is a bit on the lower side, as the 1.6 multiport is a thirsty motor. However, the response and mileage improved by quite a bit once I started using high octane petrol in the car. Interiors are great too, with very thoughtful touches here and there.
I have two problems with the car: first, the headlights are too weak... the reason for the crash that I just mentioned is weak headlights. I am having the same problem with my current car, even though I changed the bulbs to 100/90 from 60/55.
Second, the C pillar of my current car has started to rust in two small areas. On contacting the company, they were quite indifferent, and said they would only pay part of the repair costs, even when faulty body treatment at the time of assembly is entirely their fault. I guess they dont care as the astra is not being made anymore, infact the whole opel brand is being killed in India.
Is there anyone who can help with suggestions on how to improve the light intensity and spread? can anyone advise how to get aftermarket lights fitted on the car? Please provide your feedback/suggestions, and help me.
