Vauxhall Astra (2009 - 2015)
SRi 2.0 CDTi 16v 165 ecoFLEX Start/Stop 5dr Hatchback
Very Refined good motorway car,poorly put together very unreliable,
For:-Refinement much better than previous Astra feels more like a big car.Two litre diesel Engine plenty of pull. Drivers Seat very comfy on 5 hour runs. Reasonable on fuel 40-70 mpg
Against:- Water trapped in front doors, bonnet feels like rice paper when closing it. Rattling trim to roof lining constant rattle like a London bus at the traffic lights.

Air conditioning stopped working stone chip ,new unit fitted £400+ (why would design put a unit in harms way without a stone guard) cost to me.
Coil springs renewed all round 2 done under warranty, 2 cost to me.
Control unit not working, symptoms, doors open/closing ,hazards flashing, wipers working, all dials at zero, engine cutting out ,self check repeating. all this going on as I was driving on the motorway.(Pipe from air con unit kinked, water built up and got into the control module) Was It fitted correctly when repaired ?
