Forums Forums Enthusiast Forums A - Z Autowirral My Astra may be for sale

i quite like it, but what is boot space like, thats important on a family car, and its different from a zafira/merriva. from me !

Im going to see this one today:

how much mate?? like them both, but the black one looks more sporty...........

Black one is actually green and has done 100k

The blue one is newer, better spec and only 35k, with a service done a 31k, comes with a 12mth MOT. and he's given me a better PX price.

hmmmm. go for it then matey...

Been to see it today, and I like it a lot, It was only brought in on Saturday and he has a few little bits to get sorted in the body shop, as well as a new MOT etc, I should be going back on Thursday to seal the deal.

This is just from experience here....

Is there a reason why when people have kids, they immediately jump to MPVs?? I have 2 brothers...and when we were young...we had Cavaliers, Carltons, Lagunas....never have we even had an estate etc...in fact, the Laguna is a hatchback...and weve always managed fine with the Hatchbacks and saloons.

Now I dunno bout you, but I always find styling on MPVs to be a bit lacklustre...would a decent second hand saloom not interest you in any way???

If you do decide to get the mazda tho...good...cos its a much nicer looking car for one than the vauxhall and ford crap out there....plus its actually reliable....

I know what you mean Craig, When we had our 1st baby I went up in size from a 3door corsa to a 5door astra. This served me well whilst I just had the 1 child, when we were expecting our second, everyone told me I would need a people carrier, but I refused to listen, the youngest is 9months now, and the last 9months has been a struggle when it comes to space. i.e both babies are in a pram, therfore we have a big double pram which alone takes 80% of the boot space, so when we go shopping we have now space for shopping bags or any large purchases. We also go on a lot of Britain based holidays - Haven/Butlins and the like. and once we have packed the Babies necessities we have no space for our stuff or extras.

So at least I have tried for 9months before deciding that for my lifestyle, a MPV would be best.

Just phoned my insurance company for a quote to transfer my policy (remaining 6months) onto the Premacy 2.0L Sport, can any one hazard a guess at how much extra the insurance is over my Astra. going from a Grp6 -> Grp8.

go on, be brave.

not the foggiest lol!! but i do like the new car...!

vauxhall would probably rip your arms out(part exin) down there if u go looking at a nearly new sporty zafira although citroen (with a turby d in ) would probably do u best on a piccasso, the mazda is well reliable but they are mostly owned by ford now if i recall and they are a little bit northern rock at the mo

I'm so close to getting it, Finances are in place, Part ex is sorted, price is agreed, just waiting for a phone call to say its ready to be picked up. But Im not available now till Tuesday so it will be at least then. I'll pop round to yours Chiccy to show it off to Jonah and yourself when I get it, also I want Customice to have a gander at the stereo and speakers in view off upgrading.

ooo yerrr cool...!!

good luck what ever u decide, u test driven the mazda, quite a peppy litle motor

sorry watching channel 4 and new yorkers kickin off, i love NYC
