Ngjs Neutral Newbie May 16, 2013 Share May 16, 2013 Me! Is it the latest 1.4Turbo? How's the drive and reliability? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Docomospur 3rd Gear May 20, 2013 Share May 20, 2013 I have the Astra Sports Tourer, 1.4. The ride is nice and smooth, though the pickup can be a bit sluggish (heavy chassis and smallish engine, plus it's not my habit to gun it) and wheel noise more apparent on the highways. So far, with about 5600 km clocked, I'm getting about 7.3L per 100 km in terms of fuel consumption. In terms of reliability, too early to tell really, but fingers crossed. I like the fact that it's not a common sight on our roads (I've only seen 1 other Tourer, at the service centre, and even the new hatch seems quite rare).

Have drove very old Astra Opel 1.6, years back. Back than, I clocked about 210,000km, without giving me any issues.
