1992 Vauxhall Astra L 1.4i from UK and Ireland
Summary:
High mileage winner!
Faults:
The usual replacements (tires, exhaust).
Had to replace the entire braking system at 110,000 miles.
Had to replace the alternator and get a new battery.
General Comments:
Rattles a bit now but is still as solid as when I first got it.
Performance has been dulled due to the mileage but it still starts evey morning and I think it will carry on to 200,000 miles. Definitely a high mileage winner!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I have exactly the same model and agree totally!
The steering is unbelievably heavy
The engine management light comes on periodically, but apparently if it goes off fairly soon after it doesn't mean anything.
Still, it puts my old 1990 fiesta in the shade.
