well there is no denying the astra J and GTC could be lighter
all cars have there faults good and bad points
a remap will give the engine a good boost as i really blame the origanl map
for low down torque issues it picks up much better remapped
the long gear ratio doesn't really help as if you are driving around in 6th or 5th
everywhere then yes the car will feel sluggish as the revs are set very low to help with MPG
but when you get used to knocking down and picking the revs up
you will find the j can more than comfortably get wright up to speed in third and 4th gear
that really makes 5th and 6th useless apart from cruising at a set speed you desire.
but when you get used to that the car it is actually a good to drive
as for value vauxhall just don't hold there value what ever the model
but then again they are cheaper than most to buy new
forums will always be full of people who have problems with there car
that is why most of them come to forums for help
and there will be always someone who dislikes a car and will make there opinions well know
it is why a forum is best suited to a certain model like this one
so owners of the same car can help with problems talk about there experiences with it
and get help from people who actually own one.
