Test drive Opel Astra sedan since 2007 sedan

Opel Astra - bottle problem

A long Opel Astra test continues. Fortunately for the car and to the great regret for the editorial staff, no scandalous stories with our red sedan occurred.

Moreover, over time, I began to get used to even some things that used to seem disadvantages. For example, after about five months of operation, he stopped paying attention to not fixed steering wheel switches. Yes, and the confusing mechanism for turning on the climate control system is also no longer annoyed in such heat as it is now, the climate works constantly and there is absolutely no desire to turn it off.
 
However, the hot summer brightly designated one puncture of the designers in the car decisively there is no place where it would be possible to put a bottle of water. Someone, of course, will say that for this there are cup holders on the back cover of the glove compartment yes, they are present there. But how are you going to ride on the way with an open bottle of mineral water, which will stand on the glove box cover? Therefore, you have to do only one to buy in the store exclusively the water that is poured into a container with a twisting cork.

As for the average fuel consumption, he did not grow with the advent of the heat. The consumption has long stabilized by 10.1 liters per 100 km of the way and does not want to move from this mark for the third week in a row (a riding style is moderate, 50% of the city - 50% highway, climate control and near -light headlights are constantly included.

Over the past few weeks, I managed to travel on several class B and S. cars and these small test drives have proved that it had long been clear and so clear the Opel Astra suspension in the sedan is very comfortable. At least the vast majority of small irregularities, it allows you to fly at high speed without fear of damaging or tore off. Yes, and an enlarged road clearance with a large trunk also pleased during frequent trips to nature (well, not in the city to sit on the weekend).
