Opel Astra GTC - Feedback

Sportcar pleases its owners with elegant appearance, beautiful, lean shapes. The machine quickly and quickly accelerates, it starts fast. At high speeds it is felt that there is a reserve of power in it. Opel Astra GTC is easily started from a half-turn even in severe frosts. The brakes are sensitive and informative. The machine is very stable, confidently goes into turns at 90 degrees without a roll, even at a speed of 60 km / h. A kind word the owners mention the quality of interior and plastic decoration, a convenient control panel, in which everything is at hand.

As for the shortcomings of the car, they can be attributed to a large fuel consumption, which is significantly higher than those specified by the manufacturer. Some note the low ground clearance of the Opel Astra GTC model, because of which the car clings to the road with the bottom on a rough road. This sport car does not belong to the number of spacious cars: it is more suitable for single drivers who prefer fast driving than families with several children. Good controllability is provided by a rigid suspension, which means that all irregularities and potholes on the road are felt by the driver.
