4.4 Overall rating
(10 reviews)Performance- needs aftermarket tuning to really have any power, stock only provides 140 hp. Manual gearbox can be notchy, and clutch could have more feel and weight. Brakes work just fine for stopping quick driving, excellent handling but use good tires to do away with some understeer. Build quality - mechanic parts work perfectly, most of interior is also good, but some plastic parts are poorly done Appearance - Unique, cool hot hatch design, esp in black with 18 in wheels and low-pro tires. Fun Factor- With more power and a 6 speed gearbox, this car would be an absolute joy to drive. Until then, it is quite easy to enjoy technical driving with quick steering response.
I love the way the car looks. The leather is a little stiff, hopefully it will soften up as I put more mileage on it. The factory 18" make a massive difference. The acceleration on the car is borderline pathetic, especially for a car that looks this fast. The handling is another story; sticky rubber, firm suspension settings and a wide track make it corner with no fuss and no drama.
The new 2008 Saturn Astra is a great car for the average guy or gal that whats something sporty yet fuel effecient. The car has a solid chassis, and stiff suspension but lacks power to match. The tiny 1.8L Ecotec just doesn't have enough fun factor. Now, if we in North America could get the 2.0L turbo from the Opel Astra in europe, this car would be fantastic for the average low budget tuner.
Fuel Efficient yet willing to gain to higher speeds then expected. 1.8L I-4 - 138hp Auto has a 'Neutral Assist' Feature that puts the transmission into Neutral during extended braking periods. Reason: To save on fuel and slightly decrease brake pad wear...slightly Takes the corners very smooth and confident, every little bump and road flaw is felt for superior driver feel and is easy to correct and maneuver. Needs an auxiliary plug for ipods and mp3 players. Very Fun to drive! Cannot wait to Drive it again.
Great car solid ride well laid out interior Gas mileage is amazing This car is fun to drive 17 in rims lowered suspension the breaks are strong no fade ,it handles like its on rails . It's down a bit on power only 138 hp from the 1.8l power plant
