 Vauxhall Astra VXR - Ultimatecarpage.com forums

Vauxhall’s Complete Motoring Plan can also be specified, allowing owners to pay for their routine servicing by direct debit from as little as £15 a month, including breakdown cover and safeguarding VXR drivers from all expenses other than tyres, exhausts and windscreens for the duration of the cover (up to four years from purchase).

 ROAD TEST VAUXHALL ASTRA TWINTOP: This is going to raise the roof Independent, The (London) - Find Articles
Now Vauxhall has done the same thing, making the new Astra TwinTop unique among its immediate rivals both present (Peugeot 307 CC, Renault Mgane CC) and imminent (Ford Focus CC and Volkswagen Eos), all of which have two-piece roofs and resultant big bottoms.
The superficially cheaper way, though, is to opt for the 1.8-litre Astra TwinTop with its 140bhp petrol engine - able, it is claimed, to propel the Astra from a standstill to 60mph in 10.7 seconds.
The Vauxhall experts say this engine takes a long time to loosen up and give its best - longer, it seems, than the other two engines I tried - but I think the 1,460kg Astra TwinTop is too much for the 1.8.
