It was a really great car in it's time but now it is really expensive to own it as its spare parts are not easily available in market and some how you get it they are really very expensive. So this car is a history now.

Only in India.. In UK opel sells in the name of Vauxhall and Vauxhall astra's are still selling like hot cakes in UK and I have a Vauxhall astra active and I still love it.. its 2003 model and I have never had any trouble with it.
Even the UK police has astras in most areas and they have bought hundreds of new ones as well and the main reason I see is the handeling at extremely high speeds is just great

and its one of the safest cars available

Opel Astra is really a good car to drive. A friend of mine has one like this but modified (its more sportive) and I really like it ! Personally i wouldn't like driving something like that as its too fast and too risky

Well if you dont like this car because it is too fast then i think it is not a good reason. Like every car can be fast all and i think all that matter is that how fast you drive it.

This car is not that much fast as you are saying. Like what we get in India is not anything near which would make me afraid of it in any terms.

This car had a big drop back like it had starting problem in winters and the second big drop back of this car are its spare parts costs which are very expensive. So not recommended to any one who is looking to buy it.
