Price is a bit high, but I would take this over the 1.6t I now have : https://www.reeds.co.za/used-cars/11319093-opel-astra-1.4-t-essentia/

A manual e-brake (as dem Muricans like to call it) as well vs your electronic e-brake.

One of the reason I'd take it over my 1.6t with the electronic one. It is hard to believe you are looking at an Essentia that pretty much has everything I have in the Cosmo except for the leather&heated seats.

Well I suppose the phrase "quirks and features" are trade marked so here are some "oddities and operations. "
When you set the balance of fader it shows an actually picture of the J GTC, not the sedan which I am using here.
Unlike previous Blaupunkt systems this one is using a Panasonic.

45,678km
While I have loved my previous OPC, what is it you are trying to point out here?

Really just having covered 45678km in my car since getting with a tad under 40,000km a year ago.
The trip was from Stellenbosch to Citrusdal then back to Dwarskersbos at mostly above legal limit speeds.
This is not the 2 liter OPC, not even close, 1.6 turbo 132kw Cosmo sedan.

AutoTopNL review of the Opel Astra J OPC

Wait. AutoTopNL isn’t German? I’ve been living a lie all this time.
Also, I really love this car. I want one. But I’m scared of maintenance costs, especially here in SA. That makes me very hesitant.

Definitely not stock

The NL is a bit of a clue, innit?

It is. You’re Right. But the fact that the guy sounds German (well, to me) and drives on the Autobahn, I automatically think Germany.

I love mine - just not sure if the turbo will blow first or the Fiat/Alfa gearbox will give up the ghost.
Until that time I'll be driving 7 kinds of s...t out of mine.
Perhaps with the Verano they added extra sound deadening because I would not classify the ride as "quiet". We did a 800km road trip last week to Outshoorn and back and the road noise is a bit harsh when I compare it what my Peugeot 407 was.
