The new model astra: my time with astra has ended

[andyp]

Being in the market for another car, I read with interest that PSA has announced an engine & tech refresh to the Astra.

I love my J, it's an amazing workhorse.

So I was very, very disappointed to read the engine options from PSA:

Petrol - 1.2 & 1.4, all 3 cylinder options
Diesel: 1.5 unspecified cylinders.

Well. I was looking at a petrol, as it's a city short journey runner, but I despise the 3 cylinder. Had one before and never, ever again! Bugger that.

Didn't think I would say this, but when the J gets scrapped in the future, it's by by Vauxhall & thanks for 25 years of driving.

Hi just been through this myself when my wife corsa of 12 years needed more money spending on it than it was worth as a trade in now I am the man who said he would never buy another ford has long as I lived but having looked at new corsas then the new fiesta 1litre turbo Vauxhall are so off the pace the fiesta although a three cylinder is a cracking motor
