The advert doesn't say one way or the other.
It doesn't say it isn't a Ferrari either, but I'm assuming it isn't  ::)

Thinking of spending £13000 (?) because your a bit bored with your car.  ::)
Go down Halfords and buy some go faster stripes, seat covers and various other tat and send the rest of the dosh to me. I will make good use of it. Promise.  :y :)

We could make it an OOF project and each send some piece of stuff to 'upgrade' his Astra. I'm sure many of us have plenty of junk left over from previous projects. I'll happily chip in 1/4litre of Ford Thistle purple paint which should look interesting with the dull green of the car :y

A Honda CRV and Hyundai Santa Fe have popped up as alternatives ...
My wife has a 65 plate Honda CRV  Ex 1.6 160  diesel auto - totally reliable, good performance, well kitted out, with plenty of toys and comfort.
I also have a 65 plate Hyundai Santa Fe Premium SE 2.2 diesel auto, which again is unbelievably reliable, very comfortable with even more toys, and is excellent at towing with plenty of torque and power.
Both within your price range (if comparing with that Grandland X).
Although I like the TV advert for the Grandland X, it wouldn't convince me to buy one.....

Right, I've listened to what you all had to say, deleted the opinions that don't agree with mine and will make a decision over the weekend  ;D

I'm sure he's got a few spare "magic trees" in his garage - just in case he gets a fussy MOT tester... ;D

I took my car for a long drive to try and pick faults to justify chopping it in. Engine, fine. Gearbox, fine. Steering, suspension, fine, fine. Usability, more than fine. MPG, around 45. Do I actually like it? Yes.


Bollġcks.......it's got to stay  ;D

Where do I buy the cream, Mark?

While we're at it, wifey's idea of an A class this year. Her astra....unmarked (like new), 34,000 miles, FVSH, 12 months MOT, still paying service plan for another 12 months, also 12 month complete warranty from Vauxhall for £278 lasts till December 2021.
Hers is staying for another year, too.
