[QUOTE=Crazy Dazz;5997043]And that's the problem isn't it.
I think the Germans generally build things well, and are on the whole well-engineered. (Although their advantage is becoming less and less as time goes by.) QUOTE] German made it may be, but it is still a product of GM, where the bean counters rule.

If I was buying a pig in a poke, and the only differential I had was this, I'd take German built over just about any other location. But I'd rather have some actual feedback. I guess its a bit hard when they only sold a handful in the whole country. |

We have an 2015 Astra VXR. So far it has been great especially for the price we paid for it. We have made a couple of warranty claims (Oxygen sensor and rear shock absorber) but nothing too concerning.
The worst thing about it is the buttonfest dash. It is not very intuitive and takes quite a bit of getting used to. In the overall scheme of things it's not a big deal but it could have been done better. Last edited by naddis01; 04-09-2017 at 10:47 PM. |
