Hi
This is my first post on the forum.
I'm looking at buying a used 2016 / 2017 Opel Astra 1.4t Sport Auto. Is there anything I should be worried about with this car?
I've read on some UK forums that the Astra's have electrical issues. Anyone in SA had problems with theirs...
While browsing Autotrader for some low mileage gems I came across this beauty
R130k for a 8 year old twintop Astra with a mere 53,000km on the clock

Hi all, would just like to get your thoughts on the latest gen Opel Astra, more specifically the turbo models. They seem to be decently priced 2nd hand and are good looking cars, but unfortunately Opel doesn't have a great rep in SA anymore. So if anyone has owned/owns one, some feedback on...
The current Astra J is a beautiful car, but the replacement is on the horizon and is about 2 years or so away. The 10th generation Astra seems to be influenced by the Monza Concept. Something about the front feels rather E-type-ish which is a good thing.
I'll probably be looking at getting a new car in the next few months, but I'll be honest. I know way more about PCs than cars. Can maybe some knowledgeable people here give me the pros and cons for each vehicle?
Soon Europe's 3rd favorite car maker Opel will be selling its 3rd place 2010 European Car of the Year contender - the 8th generation Astra - in SA.
Prices are very attractive and as can be expected from Opel the standard equipment level is very high, as opposed to their main German rival...

Glad its not only me that thinks so :cool: although I guess I am a bit biased in this case.
It would be interesting to see how much it costs when it arrives here by year end.
I'm looking for something like this, but I do not want to buy it off ebay:
Anyone that knows where I can get it locally.
It seems to go for about R700 if you import one from Greece.
My wife was driving back from Pretoria and was getting stuck in-between a truck and the chevrons in the fast lane. One of the chevrons was sticking too far into the fast lane and whacked off the rear-view mirror on the driver's side. She could not avoid it cos the truck was on the other side...
Very nice video featuring a disguised prototype new Astra :D

Don't worry VAG lovers - the Astra 9(I) won't be coming to SA to make your stationwagon-look-alike Golf 6 eat dust.... yet :cool:
So a few days ago I posted about the awesome new Astra... well good news for those of you that thinks it sucks. We ain't getting it :p

So what they are...
While some like drooling over pictures of the 6th generation of a boring euro box that looks like a station wagons illegitimate child conceived by lazy designs copied off a SUV (what a mouthful) - it is good to see some more passionate and flair-full designs emerging from Germany.
As the...
I was wondering if there was any pictures of the next Astra so I googled a bit.
While I doubt the next Astra will look like this it still looks pretty good for a start.
It certainly is not as dramatic as the new Corsa D/4 but there are similarities.
I wonder if these will also have road...
