The  car  by  its own virtue carries a special image. I purchased the ASTRA 1.6cc a few months back mainly  due to its aristocratic looks and  its background as  one of  the Euro majors in  the  auto. industry.


I bought it second hand and   must appreciate the  way  it  was taken  care since  the  last few  years.


I feel a little  bit  uncomfortable  due  to  its fuel consumption aspect. I t would have been better if  I could have enjoyed at least 11-12 km/lit.


It  stands  out  by  its own self and  demands a distance to  be  compared.


A s far as recommendation goes, the  looks  of  the  highways of a busy city would have had a different defination if Astra  would  have been the only option for  car  owners.


I may not be wrong if I quote that the looks of  the upgraded   model  will not  be  a  better looking than this one.


The  model might have been discontinued but as a owner a request to  the  GM Motors to  keep arrangement  of  the  spare  parts since there  are quite a few proud owners  in  this  part of  the  world  who should not  be  let  down, due  to  the want of  the  same. The  price  structure  should  be  reviewed , too.

    Source it from Lamington Road, Mumbai, (MARS Shop) - who keeps all General Motors Parts. Even guys from GM pick up their parts from him & his stocking is fantastic. The pricing is very neat & almost every part is available off the shelf!

    I agree with the views. I own the same car. Nothing to beat it except maint cost, low KPL and few dealers.KPL problem has been sorted out by using LPG Kit. However, spares still remain a problem area. This Car in hey days was the Pride of GM MOTORS.
