What's the Astra 1.3 CDTi like?
Is the engine in the Astra SC 1.3 CDTi 95hp five-door economical and nippy to drive?
Our answer:
Hi William,
Economical? Yes - drive it gently and you should see better than 50mpg. Nippy? Not so much - it's a small engine and the Astra is on the chunky side. It's fine, but not what you'd call quick.
