Definitely nice looking ride...170 top speed, nice.
The engine purrs quite nicely too.

Astons have always had epic engine sounds. And loud ones too.

yeah, sounded great...sound with speed is cool, sound while crawling is b*llsh*t.Astons have always had epic engine sounds. And loud ones too.You asked sometime back what kind of car I had...It a 2011 Audi A3, costs me a fortune in repair costs but it keeps going down the road as fast as I want it to go...about 150,000 miles on it now...saving for another car but I'll hang on to the Audi, if I could just get the electronics straightened out on the p.o.s.
Well, I'm surprised to hear you're having problems with it. Over here, Audi has quite a sterling reputation on account of reliability, and it is considered somewhat of a premium brand — they're in the higher price range.yeah, sounded great...sound with speed is cool, sound while crawling is b*llsh*t.
Myself, I'm still driving my 2006 Opel Astra GTC 2.0 Turbo with a 6-speed manual. It doesn't have a lot of kilometers/miles on it because I'm always driving very short distances, but it's going on 18 years now and it always sleeps outside. Yet, it still smells and looks like new on the inside, and it drives wonderfully. I've had some expenses with it over the years, but most of that was natural wear & tear. And it has quite a few battle scars on the outside too.
It may not be the hottest of hot hatches anymore by today's standards, but I still consider a 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) time of 8.5 seconds fairly quick, and it's still a beautiful, sporty looking car, both in and out. It has a factory-installed OPC Line spoiler kit and five-spoke 18" alloy wheels. I actually personally feel that the new 2022 Astra — which is entirely built upon Peugeot/Citroën underpinnings — doesn't even look half as good. Opel's design language is now a lot more angular, and in my opinion, the new Astra looks more like an SUV that has been lowered, with a very horizontal hood and a more upright windscreen. Mine on the other hand is still from before General Motors sold Opel and its sister brand Vauxhall to the PSA Group, which has itself now merged with FIAT/Chrysler into a mega-holding called Stellantis, with its HQ in the Netherlands.
The image below is not my actual car — I used to have a couple of photos of it online, but my ISP has dropped the free web space that they used to offer to their customers — but it's the same make and model, including the spoiler kit, albeit that the body color and the design of the wheels are different.
