    General Motors highlights the best of german technology. I bought this car 6 months back, satisfied but astonished to hear that its market value is less (i think its hyped)

    Hello !

    I purchased Opel Astra 1.6 Petrol around 3 yrs back, using it and maintaning it properly its very low on maintenance. We are doing general maintenance at my Friend's Garage and Major Maintenance at GM Dealer (Hardly requires any n Trust me its same or even Cheaper than road side garages)

    Car is very comfortable and safe on road, build quality is excellent. Getting good milage around 12 in city, and around 14 + on highways.

    My future car will be from GM only.

    i own a 1997 model astra 1.6. Lots of trouble with maintenance although all work is done at GM service center. AC causing major problems. Got it fixed, but now it works intermittently. Morning and evenings it works. Afternoon when its hot, the compressor swithces off. Also, sometimes compressor switches on and off every 2 seconds while working. I dont trust Apex Auto service center anymore. Any suggestions of a reliable place where I can get the car fixed?
