Advice on Astra.

malinheader

Hi all, My son is looking at a 2016 opel Astra SC 1.0 105ps.
To Me the engine seems small and makes me think she would be sore on petrol.
Could be wrong so thought I would throw it out there. Any experience or knowledge of the car be a help.
Thanks.

The engine is turbocharged.

I have a 2016 astra with the 3 cylinder 1.0 turbo engine.

It's actually grand, i was suprised myself at the start

Have you owned it for long?
Has it been reliable?

seems hard to sell on done deal 75 days

in uk survey it was 59 favorite out of 75 cars so pretty low

There are hundreds of car models on sale though, so being 59th out of 75 doesn’t make it the 16th worst car.

Ford alone have 14 passenger models for sale.

I’ll grant you that it’s not as good as being 1st of course, but these ‘favourite’ surveys are largely subjective toss anyway.

Not with you. Are all Astra's on sale for 75 day plus?

I only asked a boardsie about their experience with their own car.
