2008 Saturn ASTRA Pros and Cons at TrueDelta: Owner Pros and Cons by bjumholtz
Member3649
Handling
This car is set up with the original suspension before being "grey marketed" to the NA market. In short, it handles like it does with the stronger powerplant in Europe.
Exterior styling
Has a tuned appearance without needing a ton of customizing.
Interior styling
Well mannered, clean, and smooth lines. Makes you want to keep it like new just from sitting in it. 5-speed manual gearshift is positioned well for almost any hand to fall naturally on to it.
Materials & workmanship
Saturn quality in the build...thank you to Opel for producing the most popular car in Europe!
Brand reputation & image
Great vehicle for the price-it brings sporty value and European sensibility to the already friendly Saturn image.
Powertrain performance
Underpowered - thanks CA emmissions standards!
Feature availability
No AUX IN jack and no XM radio - two things not used much in Europe.
Audio & nav systems
No navigation option for NA release.
Price or payments
A little expensive due to being "grey marketed" to the NA market.
