1988 Vauxhall Astra SRi 1.8 injection from UK and Ireland
Summary:
Go and see what the fuss is about
Faults:
Electrical faults caused with alarm and immobiliser causing the car to lock up on me at 60 mph on a main road, and it locked me in and turning the hazard lights on!!!
Seats are worn really bad especially on the bolsters.
Exhaust starting to rattle.
General Comments:
This car is a lot quicker than I ever expected. I didn't think it would be anything special compared to my last car a MG Montego Turbo, but it was so much better. Maybe not on speed, but definitely on comfort, handling and reliability.
A revvy car that will pass the red line with ease.
The cabin is a bit grey, old and worn, but what do you expect for a E reg car?
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

115mph in a 1.2 OHV? Don't think so. I got just over 110 in my 1.3 Jubilee and that OHC which if I'm not mistaken is slightly better. Twas a 4 speed too.
