@nosferatum79 In italy? It’s an opel astra thtoughout ALL of europe, a saturn astra in north america, holden astra in australia and probably new zealand too.
I have a 1999 Holden Astra, It’s falling to pieces, it is worse than my Old VL Wagon I had, obviously, cuz that was a true Aussie car XD or my old 1989 Corolla
it’s so sad to see an Astra being crashed but making a car means making safety tests.
i’ve got a 2007 Opel Astra 1.6 liters – 115 hp…it’s a great car!
Opel make good cars! I have a Saturn (Astra in Italy) 1.7 cdti 2007 but the engine is slow.. sin..
yea, I know, I dont write it bad
ford focus is ford not gm.
very true, one example: ford focus
good performance
This car really isn’t that good, but the crash ratings seem fine.
Well it was designed by GM Europe. It is one of few models that GM resells in US market without modifications to the design. In the past US GM would take a design and make it more “American” not in this case.
thats a proper american car, basically a Vauxhall astra
