Picked it up this morning. I am pleasantly surprised. Quite punchy for a 1.6. As Mark says, the interior is a bit characterless, but tt was only made as a repmobile/shopping trolley. Exterior looks quite modern and, of course, star silver is still the best colour on a Vx.

scaled down VXR snowflakes on each corner :y
i never disliked astras but as you stated with this model, the interior is disappointing
-
3 things i like about the car,
1. the Alloys
2. The Vauxhall emblem on the back
3. The color
-
One thing I did notice is that, although there is plenty of room in the boot, that high bumper resrticts access and would easily be scraped.
Those light clusters should be part of the tail gate.
-
Could you do some pics of the inside too??
-
Is there a way to get into the boot/hatch in the event of a flat battery? It was something I thought of when I had a hire Astra t'other week. :-/ [size=8](sad I know)[/size]

Here is the interior. Perhaps not so bad. I'm sure it will grow on me.

:y I know. Surprised me that there wasn't one fitted. Not a gauge you need all the time but, non the less a worth while thing to have.

I liked the Alfa better, you should have kept it - LOL

the little screen in the centre looks lost!!

Better trading it in for a meega, can still keep the Vx badge then.

Nice car..Consumption figures will not be bad I think..
-
:)As said, good colour, alloys, should be a dependable family car but will you "love it" like the alfa or a Mig?
Love the retro speedo / rev counter. 8-)

Thanks Cem. About 40mpg, which is a nice change.
I put the alfa in against it and paid a small deposit and wangled £250 discount. I financed the balance, works out at £190 a month. I worked out with what I save in fuel, insurance (£600 down to £300) and mot/repair bills, it will pay for itself for at least the first two years.

Nice car that mate.

It will be a different kind of love. Instead of the passion you feel for a new girlfriend, it will be the steady kind of love that you get after the iniitial courtship. You know, the kind of love you feel when the rather thing starts every morning and doesn't need filling up every farts end. ;D

Wow... £190 a month, glad I bought a BMW 840 then, it's positively cheap to run even at 18 MPG ;) Saying that I don't do finance on cars, never have and never will.
Must say the steering wheel looks very nice, much better than the one fitted to the Omega that I'm sure was borrowed from a bus somewhere. It's nice having a nearly new car, but as you know already ::) I'd much rather have an older, but more powerful and more fun car. Then again if you're just doing boring commutes it's almost irrelevant what type of car you're driving, so a sensible car makes errr sense :D.
Still shoulda kept the Alfa tho and banked the £6000 for the repairs and running costs ;D

C'mon Capt'n .... get with it!!! Who calls it a wireless these days? ;D ;D ;D ;D
