Hi, i am new to the car scene and would like to know what you guys have to say about these 2 cars as i am considering getting either one. I am thinking of getting a second hand one of about 2 years old, preferably 1.4 manual. I notice nobody here talks much about these cars even though i kind of feel the prices are quite attractive for them compared to the japanese cars that are widely being discussed about. Please tell me what you guys think about them and if there are any major faults or disadvantages with them such as high fuel consumption, major engine problems or expensive servicing with hard to get spare parts.
Alternativly i am thinking of a lancer of about the same age. I understand that would be the one with the boxy rear. And just to clarify when people mention lancer03, which model are they talking about? the boxy one or the latest model on the road? Thank you.
Hi,
Personally I believe the Opel is a better car than the Renault, thus I would settle for an Astra 1.4l between the 2. Furthermore, the Astra 1.4l look pretty okie to me.
Anyway, the 03Lancer should be refering to the latest model on the rd. The boxy one should be the 2002 model.
