Recommend a sensible car?

[bokdrol]

I do approve of that!!
Seriously though, if they top 7K units this year it would be good. http://www.engineeringnews.co.za/ar...unit-sales-target-for-opel-in-2015-2015-01-28

That said, Astra is the best sensible car

Do they still make them? In fact, isn't Opel something else now?

Yes they do... And no they're still Opel

Sounded too much like PR speaks to me... http://media.gm.com/media/za/en/gm/...a/en/2015/07_01_2015_gmsa_naamsa_comment.html

PR speak that has basis in actual figures, yes.

Opel....yawn....so boring.Wake me up when they make something exciting that doesn't scream Brakpan special...

This screams sex on wheels, not Brakpan

Roux makes the best jokes

Thanks, but the joke is that it looks better than the Corolla and Jetta. Now that I look at it again, it looks better than most Lamborghinis too. In fact..... yep, I'm pretty sure it is better looking than a Zonda.

The Zonda is nasty. Maybe you are pushing it a bit on the lambo, but looks are subjective.
Edit: fortunately so, otherwise who would have married your wife?

Mmm, I see what you mean, that was foolish if me to make such a comparison. I think we need to take a fresh angle on this.

Ah, there it is, a fresh angle. Is that beautiful or gorgeous, oh wait, its both.

Not bad looking, and the interior - Opel interior always been sh11tty plastics - you say better than Jetta (im no Jetta driver) , but go and sit inside one - you do not beat VAG on interior in that price category.

 

[Rouxenator]

Interior quality have improved a lot since the days of the rattle cage Monza. Currently my 5 year old Corsa and 8 year old Astra still feel like new cars on the inside.

Dammit @Rouxenator, your posts might make me consider making my next car an Astra!



Go Away!

Test drive it first, just to be sure

Lookswise they are pretty sexy and build quality is solid, since 2006 most Opels are complete imports from Germany. VIN numbers should start with W0.

Ouch,that was a low blow,even as a reply to Roux trolling.:erm:

I wont lie its a good looking car,but as a package its probably still boring...the previous Astra's I've driven in normal guise always felt under powered and nowhere as refined as VW's or Toyota's...

LoL was just having a laugh. I've never seen his wife. Care to share, Roux?

 

[Rouxenator]

I did not take any offence, she is not too bad looking. The Astra costs more because you get something a little more premium.

Oi! That word's reserved for Jaguar.

Heh, the Astra is out of my price range, still not a bad looking car though, will give it that!
