I am a big fan of my Vauxhall Astra Mk2 1.4, I have a 1.8 sri, a 1.3 and a 1.4 amoungst other Vauxhalls. I brought my 1.3 for £50 pounds 5 years ago with no tax or mot. It has passed all mot's since, with no or little work, and is a cracking little car, the best value for money, nippey, and never let me down.

I love the Vauxhall Astra Mk2 it's great so fast for a 1.4 and engine is very strong. It's my first car and I only had lil probs due to being stolen but still goes fast.

Strong smell of petrol inside my dual fuel (LPG/petrol) Vauxhall Astra A car ran into back of Astra some weeks ago. Bumper and vent behind it replaced. But still a very strong smell of petrol inside the car SOMETIMES when driving in petrol mode. Not there in LPG mode. Been back to garage 4 times they cannot trace the problem. Anyone got any ideas????????

This Vauxhall Astra Mk2 1.4L Family Car is the only car that has ever been sweet to me. When I had an xr2 I had no end of problems with it, I have since owned 2 mk2 1.4 astras and dont think I will leave it until the 2.2 calibra lump goes in and sort the rattles and road noise. (50kgs worth of dynamat) along with my koni adjustables - THIS IS A CRACKING MOTOR FROM ALL ASPECTES.

My mark 2 Vauxhall Astra Mk2 1.4L started life as a family car... then I got my hands on it, off came the rear door handles, the rust, the steel wheels, air filter, rear seats, door cards etc. In went two 12s a 2.8kW amp 6x9s front components and cd player... Fully GTE'd now and its cost me next to nothing apart from time and patience and ocasionally persuasion from my friend Mr 14pound hammer. Great car, how many other G reg 1.4's will do 120mph after only £100's worth of bits... sheer class

I have had my Vauxhall Astra Mk2 1.4L (H reg) for 1year,8 month with no problems, apart from water pump and drivedog in distributer which can happen to any car. Good boot space,easy to modify car Which I have done on my own without buying new parts, except for the paint. As u can tell I have no bad points about the astra mk2 1.4i, I love my Astra but it is getting a bit old Im on the look out for another to modify to my needs.

Well, Ive had my Vauxhall Astra Mk2 1.4L for just over a month, (J reg 1.4l 5dr) i bought it from auction, for ...£75!! serviced upto 83000, now on 93000 (3000 belong to me) its a crackin motor. i love the front seats, they are really sporty for a car in a bracket for family cars. its engine pulls realy well, the handling is great although i broke a balljoint couple of days after i bort it, had a new 1 on in under 1 1/2hrs (part of the old 1 was still there n DINT want to leave) for £8. the hand brake loves to get the back end out :-)

it does rattle inside a lil, but she is gettin on a bit now, its got really good compression, although drinks a lil oil, but only a lil, and gives me over 400 miles city drivin for £40, although my petrol gauge isnt workin, i always put less petrol in each full tank after 400miles!!!

rear arches are are problem, but it is allowed some faults, and the brakes are pretty good too, my previous car was an 1100cc ax, im getting better mpg better brakes n a strong reliable engine

(i read a review & it said about the cutting out at lights, just advance the idling a little, simple)

overall it's a strong good car and can look nice modified

The vauxhall Astra Mk2 1.4l is a good wee car overall.
