Kenneth Hymering that's why the vauxhall 59 plate insignia that I bought fell victim to a very common fault after 2 months where the oil pump fails 😂😂 I bought it November 2017 and it died January 2018. Vauxhalls answer when questioned about why there were no recalls on the vehicle were because they "were unaware of the fault and it's an old car so what do you expect" meanwhile all the CDTi engines seem to have same oil pump common fault. I would never drive a vauxhall again after that. Cheaply made.

@@czrptr6849 yours is the 1.9 his the 2.0 , the problem that destroys the engine is a few ££ oring from the pickup to the oil pump, once it fails you loose oil pressure and destroy the engine. And regards Vauxhall it's like meeting a stunning lady but when she wakes up in the morning she looks rough as a dog, on the surface it seems you get a lot for your money but you soon realise the materials are poor, fit and finish is not up to the standard of the Germans, and overall quality, you test drive a 200k bmw / vw and then a 200k vauxhall, the latter will be falling apart.

Yeah I love GTI's & Golf R's, they're still the best all-rounder Hot Hatch & best for everyday usability, but I think this year I'll have to give the pure performance factor to the Astra. Quite a bit more tasty looking than the other hatches & has the MOST mature & stylish interior. But....end of the day....I would always fall back on the Golf :) Check out a Focus ST as well, you'll be pleasantly suprised

in fairness clarkson does like the astra vxr and as standard it is abit crap i was disappointed with it but after getting rid of the 19" wheels for 18" toyo proxies r888 dropped 30 mm on ebiach pro sport springs and a whiteline adjustable anti roll bar it handles really well and a decent remap to get rid of the crap standard vauxhall map add in piano black surround blue smd conversion and nice touch screen radio its a nice place to be (and remove all vauxhall badges) wouldnt swap it for any other hatchback asides a new focus st

⁠@@hegamer4372that’s weird, cus everyone I’ve known with a Vauxhall, including my parents and my older brother, had endless problems, while the people i’ve known who’ve had Fords (including myself in the past) rarely have problems. The Mk2 Focus handled better than the Astra H too.

I just bought the astra vxr on a 10plate an I love it,I'm not going to be joyriding it all over some estate like the stig was so I don't need to worry about how its going to handle at high speed in corners,as long as I have the power to smoke someone on a striaght at the lights its all good,and it does pull to the left a little but that's just the rar power:)
