@kyuzh987 if you can find one yes. They brought this car over right before Saturn died off. I've seen 1 saturn astra 3 door since they have been brought over. I havent even seem them at dealerships or even for sale on ebay
its sluggish at the start, but it is still pretty quick. i have the 5sp xr and love it. i debadged it and put the opel grille on = everyone checking out the car
A pitty they didn't put the CDTI engines in the Saturn Astra. 120 or 150hp versions. They do have 6 speed gear boxes, they are faster and they have a lot more torque.
This the 120hp version is as fast as the 1.8ecotec and the 150cdti will blow it of the road.
Their fuel efficiency is much better too. But they are diesel. Check out the opel astra cdti 120 or 150.
I was driving this car, which is my grandpa's, and we were driving on hilly roads. The cruise control was on, and it couldn't keep a steady speed going up a 10 grade hill. This would be a far better car if it had a more powerful engine.
it's a "german" car - ummm are you from GM's marketing? who cares it's not a Vw, Audi, or a BMW it's a GM!!! Just like SAAB is no longer Sweedish - are Americans really this dumb to buy this crap? it's insulting to see GM pulling this crap
Dudes! Dudets! Everyone, guess what I have the new 08 Saturn Astra 3 Door Coupe and it fucking rocks! Even though it has 140 hp standard, I tuned the engine to 200hp and its sick! At first I paid $27,000 will all features including tax and all that other stuff. Plus with $10,000 tune up, the car is so worth it! MY CAR FUCKING ROCKS!!!
Umm, why are people debating the pros/cons of America in general on a video about a Saturn Astra? For the record, stereotyping Americans (or people from any country)makes you sound idiotic no matter where you are from. There are stupid people and extremely intelligent people in America, just like in any other country on the planet.
Interesting to see minor changes from the Vauxhall - rear bumper, interior, badging. But like the Vauxhall does it suffer from leaking tyres, appalling fuel consumption and dodgy key transponder? By the way, Americans really are thick aren't they?
Whatever twat; go back to watching your puss sports like Premiershuip football, where all the so-called men are busy flailing around like Premier faggots. Yeah, we're all fat and stupid, that's why we have the Space Shuttle, Aircraft Carriers, and the F2 Raptor "short bus." Real underachievers we are with all our Nobel prizes too! Get a clue.
Sure, I'm fat - I weigh 210 pounds, which is reasonable for my height you dolt. We haven't had any terrorist attacks on US soil since George Bush came to power, so I couldn't care less if somebody in Uganda or Serbia hates us. To hate 300 million people is ignorant, so I choose to let people stew in their own ignorance. Now fuck off deuche bag.
i have a vauxhall astra german built elite model. has covered overed 50k and probs, if lived in america i would not about mpg but this car if i was moving to us would beause it 50% cheaper the petrol id 60% cheaper and i know how drive better. rather spend the the cash on a 3rd rolex - go figure.
its a great ca its the best selling car in United kingdom we call it the vauxhal astra its very good car. you in for a shock america your prob never has such a well built, well handeled car in a long time
becuase you make really crap cars no offence i like them but everyone critis them
i like the buick lercern good car had it for hired wen went to florida bad fuel econemy thou but good. wouldnt do very well in U>K thou crap build i could pull everything apart not good
its not a big hit here in the US, i think, because its only got the 1.8l (less that 150hp is pathetic) Here in the USA gas isn't that expensive (around $2.98USD) so economy isn't a top priority.
yeah but the US is retarded and we do not get diesels here unless they're super efficient. so most people looking for a small wagon will would go for the vw gti or a mazdaspeed 3.
no. they only have the 1.8l engine because we americans love our automatics lol. and that is the only engine that was availible with an auto in europe. so they only gave us that one engine and a choice of manual or auto. (gm wanted to get the astra to US as fast as they could without having to change alot of things.) it sucks. oh well. i think it's awesome that we're starting to get european cars in the states. i would like to see citroen, peugeot and renault come to the US.
you must be kiding me FRENCH cars are just as crap as american cars realli they are rubish
but over the years they are slowly improving
bt you never know you mite start getting some european cars soon
you need some small cars out there
wen i went there i never saw any small cars i saw a chevy one out there we call it the kalos i dnt know wat you call it bt thatys crap lol like we have the vauxhall corsa which is im not actualli kiding you the best lookin car there is
.. i didn't know that french cars sucked. i they looked alot better than american cars so i guess i figured they were better cars. lol.
yeah kalos=chevy aveo. i don't see to many of those around where i live. we did just start getting the smart fortwo here. from what i heard they're already on backorder.
they always have something wrong with them they always break dwn and they always have horrible interiors.yh we have had the smart fortwo for ages.
we have onli just started getting some american cars that we never had ere before like dogde and they always have bad write ups
bt i dnt mind them
the new version of chrysler vodger.you call it the town nd country and also we will be getting the new dogde version of it aswell i think you call it the grand caravan
yeah, it used to be called the chrylser voyager, but they dropped it and just call it town & country.
i'm not a big fan of dodge/chrysler vehicles they're not very reliable and when you go to get something fixed they try to blame you for it. there are many websites out there telling how poorly those cars are made. i think they have a long way to go.
yh i know i dnt realli like them that much either, there just dole cars to be honest
the onli chrysler i like is the 300c bt thats it
the chrysler done realli bad in the crash test over ere onli got one star out of five so bad and its the same with the pt cruiser that onli got 3/5 not the best for safty.
goin bk to french cars the onli thing there good at is the safty there cars always get the highest and are always the safest.
How can you asspies (you're not the first to say that) say it's not popular when they only started shipping the God damn car a few weeks into January (and in limited quantities, too)?
Seriously, what the fuck.
Oh yeah, FYI pathetic about a car that outputs 138HP (consider the weight of the car, jackass) from a 1.8L engine (and the 1.4 turbo's coming next year, by the way).
If we wanted an opinion from a Canuck, we'd be talking about ice hockey. Now get back to your frozen Socialist shit hole you little Bacon eating coq smoker. I just came back from Canada and all I saw was East Indians and Orientals that just got off the boat - hardly anybody even spoke English: pathetic!
Sure, with Universities such as Harvard, Yale, Brown, Duke, Stanford ........... the best college system in the world, we're dumb as fuck and can't spell worth a darn - huh, huh; me dummy and you smart European. Us ignorant rednecks is just busy eating hamburgers and driving SUVs.
Nobody, but nobody likes you lot as a race, but you're jealous to death of us Brits. Its really funny. If you think you have the best college system in the world, then you've answered your own question - you ARE as dumb as fuck. You sound 14, immature, and tend to wank a lot and live with your mum. What a prick. Now do one and leave me alone you weirdo.
WOW, racist much? What a typical, small minded, egotistical American prick. I agree with bluebus270. No wonder everyone else hates you guys. I wouldn't pride yourselves in your superior knowledge either. You get mocked all around the world for your stupidity. You people are so self centered I almost pity how much you all embarrass yourselves. I went to New York and some idiot Yank thought Calgary was in Toronto. You people are so ignorant to the geography around you. NO, Vancouver and Toronto...
are NOT the only cities in Canada. And I highly doubt you could even point to Britain on a map, never mind Uganda. Do you know how many videos are circulating the internet based n the stupidity of Americans? Far too many than I'd ever care to be proud of, if I were you (which, thank GOD I'm not).
you're makng a big mistake by generalising all americans ... the ideas that exist in the world of 'the average american' are created by the media and has noth much t do with reality
you're the one here who is small minded, by you opening your mouth and making that racist comment about "typical" americans that shows just how hypocritical you are. any civilized person here i would hope put all their anger aside and agree with me. its people like you that make this miserable little planet almost unbearable to live on. go rot in a hole somewhere and shut your vulgar mouth.
As an American living in London, I would have to disagree with you. I have received nothing but warmth from the British people, and I would hope you are talking for yourself and a select few. Try carrying on a civilized conversation with out using profanity and be reasonable, its never a good idea to hate a people because of the government in power. But unfortunately people like you exist making the lives of tolerant people harder to live on this miserable little planet.

For the boyracers in the US, wait for the astra opc and vectra opc (opel performace center) - and never ever take the traction control off with these cars.
you obviously didn't spend your teen years beating the crap out of dilapidated fwd cars with all sorts of fun alignment/general mechanical problems. 1988 9000 turbo with broken front swaybar mounts...now there's some understeer. and it's "catastrophic"
they have been out a few years . They are very reliable, cheap to run. There is the "vxr" version here which is 240 bhp, if you want fast. The turbo diesels are the best overall
The interior is so bland. Just grey everywhere. Not much imagination. Too many little round buttons on the center stack.Whats up with the Gas gauge flanked by only a tach and Speedo. Man that looks cheap.The only good thing is the motor.I thought those childseat anchors where for hang grocery bags. that's needs big attension.Better off buying Hyundai !!!
Nice looking car; going to consider it as a new commuter; looking at the Ford Focus and Dodge Caliber too. The Dodge is a bit on the ugly side compared to this car though.
Vauxhall Astra / Opel Astra / Chevy Vectra GT / Saturn Astra / Holden Astra = Same car
for example, I live in Argentina and this car is known as Chevy Vectra GT here.

Try carrying on a civilized conversation with out using profanity and be reasonable, its never a good idea to hate a people because of the government in power. But unfortunately people like you exist making the lives of tolerant people harder to live on this miserable little planet.

For the boyracers in the US, wait for the astra opc and vectra opc (opel performace center) - and never ever take the traction control off with these cars.

Try drive one in a race you asshole. It's got catastrophical under-steer if you know what that means.

you obviously didn't spend your teen years beating the crap out of dilapidated fwd cars with all sorts of fun alignment/general mechanical problems. 1988 9000 turbo with broken front swaybar mounts...now there's some understeer. and it's "catastrophic"

this is a common car in the UK.
they have been out a few years . They are very reliable, cheap to run. There is the "vxr" version here which is 240 bhp, if you want fast. The turbo diesels are the best overall

The interior is so bland. Just grey everywhere. Not much imagination. Too many little round buttons on the center stack.Whats up with the Gas gauge flanked by only a tach and Speedo. Man that looks cheap.The only good thing is the motor.I thought those childseat anchors where for hang grocery bags. that's needs big attension.Better off buying Hyundai !!!

1. New design? what new desing? it's been around since 2004 or something...
2. How does one more cog increase power?
azizt16 4 years ago 2
Yeah, and it was not designed by Saturn anyway. And a sixth speed giving more power? That's new...

Nice looking car; going to consider it as a new commuter; looking at the Ford Focus and Dodge Caliber too. The Dodge is a bit on the ugly side compared to this car though.
