Vauxhall Astra vs Toyota Celica - With Richard Hammond

[@slywhips1694]

I have a astra coupe for 5+ years now. have never had any issues. most reliable and fun car i ever had. Still giving out hidings for new hot hatch cars

[@onvamdimon2224]

Celica all over! Eternal machine, still on roads aged 25 years. Just beauty

[@Sebastian-hc8rj]

i still see the Astra anywhere too XD

[@martinbond461]

I had a Celica 190 about 18 years ago and I still think it looks modern today in 2020. Engine was great fun although you had to work it hard, and the interior was funky too. I'd rather walk than have the Astra.

[@onvamdimon2224]

True!

[@dans8167]

Actually contrary to the description the Astra is turbo, the Celica is NA. I'll take the Celica every day, the Astra engine with it's 60000km cambelt can go in the bin

[@MrRohanThomas]

This generation of Celica is garbage, its gone extinct, you can read about the issues it had online or watch Scotty Kilmer's videos about them, the Astra is the one running today

Celica absolutely everyday of the week. Will never buy another Vauxhall. That shockingly boring interior they all have just makes you sigh.

[@ShadX222]

When you dont have the money, you surely pick an Astra :)

I’ve seen more Astra coupe’s on the road today than celica’s

[@Holmesson]

Toyota didn't sell many 7th gen Celicas, which is why it was the final version.. but don't go thinking that the reason you see more Astras than Celicas on the road is due to reliability. Toyota makes a superior product, no two ways about it.

[@SpecializedRider1986]

Toyota might be reliable but they're not more reliable than this era of Vauxhall. The two hatches and two Coupes I've owned were bulletproof reliable. The second Coupe I'm on now, the 2.2 is spot on, these Vauxhalls aren't known for any reliability issues at all​. @@Holmesson

[@Holmesson]

@@SpecializedRider1986 Hey, even a broken clock is right twice a day. I'm sure Vauxhall has plenty of reliable models, but as a whole and for all time, Vauxhall can't compete with Toyota's history of build quality, reliability, and longevity.

[@soundseeker63]

This shape of Celica still looks really sharp! Interior is still pretty cool too in a retro kind of way. That VVTLi engine may be peaky but they are also reliable. Old Toyotas last forever if looked after. As for the Astra, its quick but I'd get the SRi turbo hatch. Same performance, same drive, more practical.

[@mrthomas2000]

The two are uncomparable. Toyota's are much more premium than the Vauxhall.

[@azlean5323]

Not really. The Vauxhall is built impressively, more premium than not.

[@crohn_killer]

😂😂😂😂😂 really now??? the most jdm cars are jokes , good performance , oil burners and cheapy interiors that looks premium but its not , for example corolla, celica, rx8 and more .. exlect honda civic ek which is quite good for the jdm cars of this era ! astra g is more premium even of some groop vag cars and ford cars too ! for their price they sre very decent

[@Sixstringbassist503]

Celica is definitely not turbo charged.

[@departe5672]

Ian Stang Well I have one and I can tell you that the Vauxhuall is 125 bhp and non turbo like celica only celica has 190 bhp

[@Sixstringbassist503]

super funny that the description says they're both turboed. hahah. I didn't know about the Vauxhuall, so I didn't wanna say on it, but I know the Celica isn't.

THIS IS NO CONTEST... The Toyota is a FAR better car in EVERY WAY. I think even "Vauxhall fan boys" would have to agree with me if they are being HONEST!

[@ShadX222]

because you judge by the looks mate.

[@teamgaming1294]

Not at all, the astra coupe turbo is much more driveable and handles way better... I own a coupe and I've driven the celica...and the only thing I personally liked more was the interior was nicer in the celica

The astra coupe turbo has a top speed 245 km/ h to 225 km/h in the celica. And you can easy boost up the Power of the turbo engine, if you want more.

[@BoltRM]

Which ones are still running well today, Toyota or Vauxhall?

[@teamgaming1294]

I have a Astra Coupe Turbo, Just under 300bhp, had it for 2 and a half years and all I've changed is the air flow meter

[@karmone11]

@@teamgaming1294 These folks dont know how epic Astras are. I have a drop top and its epic, solid build and bulletproof. Also MUCH cheaper to run than Celica. Not knocking Celica by any means, but TURBO COUPE smokes it with ease..

[@paulmemmory2415]

Have to disagree !!! Love Rich Hammond and is reviews, it's an overblown Astra with more torrque etc!! But surely the bottom line isn't to put the Astra engine into the Celica!!! Surely with the pin point handling the Ceilca offers, the even lower ride,the no compromise coupe in itself!!! the much more sharp looks and handlng!!Why put a slightly more powerful Astra engine in it? When they both offer 190BHp yet the Celica just 180Nm of Torque against the Astra boost of 250Nm of torque, when surely the pin sharp handling on the Toyata needs nnothing more than a great driver......And surely way more fun letting a slightly less boosted engine wind it's way up! In this pin sharp handling car!

[@semird615]

That Celica had an aftermarket supercharger you could slap on.

[@dawoud8013]

But it's hard to stay above 6000 rpm to have fun if you're not on a track. therefore .... astra is preferable. Some Auto specialists say that the 192hp is useless compared to the 143hp, because in everyday life we ​​hardly ever drive above 6000 rpm
