Topgear Vauxhall Astra Mk3

[AdamInNi]

Im 15 and just bought a Vauxhall Astra MK3 1.4LS 5 door in Champagne Gold. very nice car :)

[MrPorkpie81]

I'm still running around in one of these, a 1998 version.

Its a bit battered and always seems to have a blowing / loud exhaust but still does a job and I'm happy enough.

[lgugue]

I had one of it here in Brazil, GM used to import it from Belgium with the 2.0 powertrain from brazilian Chevrolet, here it was sold under the Chevrolet brand, with the chromed "V" of the Vauxhall on the grille and the Opel brand in the drive wheel...

[MrNickcafc]

there are millions of these left on the road. just shows how fantasticly well they were made!

cant believe build quality is listed as an issue!!

[vectra4ever]

@MrNickcafc Most cars reviewed by journalists are pre-production models, which are scrapped soon after ;-)

[MostySupaFast]

@MrNickcafc loads of astras =p and i still got 1 ... even with a small motor .. i started a project that shows how a simple motor 1.4L i with 82 hp from stock .. can still be a 1.4l but with racing parts .. and still get the respect of every one ;)

Just had to write off my Astra... A sad day was so much fun!!!

[CH1CKENQUIFF]

@leeperryismerry

Did you accidently write it off?

[leeperryismerry]

@CH1CKENQUIFF

Technically no, but it wasn't worth repairing all the smashed windows etc.

[whitbyjet65]

Back in the days when Top Gear was for grown-ups.

[sorryunlucky]

@machiato031

Yeah out of the UK they called them "Opel" not got a clue why probably because they wouldn't be able to pronounce Vauxhall or something.
