Might be trading mine in tommorow depending on a test drive - new shape Astra (more economical)
thats quite a change, how did you come around to choosing an astra?? i do like the look of them but every time i change car i start looking at various makes but always sticking with the germans, be it VAG or BMW.
Had quite a few German cars, 5 Audis, 5 Golfs, 5 BMWs, 1 SEAT, 1 Skoda - apart from the Fabia VRS and the BMWs i've had lots of problems with the audis and Golfs so enough is enough.
Had 3 old shape Astras (VXR, SRi Turbo, SRI 1.
and didn't have any problems, so that's why i thought of the new shape Astra - more modern (temp gauge is back )
The ED30 is running perfect since i had a new charcoal canister, new DV, major service, cambelt + pump so the next owner will be very pleased - car is getting older though so more problems will be around the corner?
I was planning on a remap if i was going to keep it but with running costs getting higher and a £1k a year pay cut i can't warrant keeping it (i have a Triumph STR for summer) so cheaper motoring is required.
i'll miss it but TBH the only car i do regret trading is the VXR (remapped to 295bhp) - the Golf has/ never will feel as quick :)
