“It didn’t sell for anyone in North America ie “turd”
– Sales numbers don’t tell the whole story; the G8 was a great car — that sold even less than the Astra in the U.S.
Didn’t have an aux input for sound system ie “turd”
– Agreed
No hp ie “turd”
– Economy car — see Cruze
No torque ie “turd”
– Economy car — see Cruze
No usefull front cupholders ie “turd”
– Really? Cupholders? Not sure when the last time was that I needed those…
No console ie “turd”
– Console for what purpose?
No armrest ie “turd”
– I think it did have an armrest… you could flip it back and forth…
and so on and so on…”
Again, the Astra had its various quirks, but it was a good car that handled like a champ and was very fun to drive, but by no means a “turd”. Want to see a turd? Check out the Dodge Caliber, Toyota Corolla, or Pontiac G3.
