Hugely impressive how a small and old Opel with only 75 hp achieves 190 km/h. I remember one of my first cars was a Corsa B with only 54 hp and it still reached 160 km/h without problems :) Those 70s - Mid 2000s cars are truly legendary...
My first car was a Kadett E 1.4 60 hp with 4 gears. On level ground he easily hit the rev limiter at 190 km/h. It pulled really well even at low revs. That felt like a lot more than 60hp, great car and engine back then!
@@Luke.Skywodka The Kadett E was also very light. We had a 1.6 caravan (saloon), enough for a nice holiday with 4 people plus luggage - in short, your 80s/90s family car. The frickin' thing weighed less than a ton. IIRC, at least including a small trailer, you could legally have more payload than the car itself weighed. Regarding the Astra F, we had one after that, I learned to drive in them. Ours couldn't do much more than 170 or something, at least you didn't want to drive any faster. I recall these things getting really light on the front wheels at 150+ Mechanically they are in some respects like old Mercs - the engines could do 300-500.000 kilometers. But wayyy before that, unfortunately, came the rust. I'm also not sure, why the Brits hated these things so much and loved their Fords. Yeah, the Escorts, and later the Focus handled a bit better, while the Astra F was a bit soft. But this was still quality German engineering. And both the Kadett and Astra were really safe cars for their time, passing tough offset crash tests long before Ford and the French put any money in passive safety.
This pisses me a lot when I drive on the autobahn. I have a similar Astra with a 2.0 Turbo engine - swapped from a Calibra. And especially BMW are like "why should I let him overtake, he drives just an old Astra, he's probably already doing his best".
That's a real Opel. At 28000km she is still brand new. I owned a Kadett with 20seh engine. And before I sold it, I took it over 450 000km with no major issues. They low on power but the engines can go forever its maintained. Thanks for the video.
I cannot believe that this car revs only 4000 around 160 km/h :D My 2009 Ford Focus 1.6 Ti-VCT revs 4000 at little over 130 km/h, even though its engine puts out over 1.5 times more bhp. This actually makes this old Astra more suitable for long distance driving... Why do we need modern cars to be so complicated? Looking at this fine example, who needs 16 valves or variable valve timing? Not to mention all the real complicated stuff we have in our cars nowadays... :D

And that ICE engines in general have been loosing from their character.
Astra F is my first car ever. I paid 40 Euros for 1,4i Astra and it was the best deal of my life. Now I am cruising around Europe with her and It is so nice car.
In Brazil this car is still a popular car known for having EXTREMELY cheap parts, and being easy to prepare for the track. And it's a very good car for everyday life.
Love 90's cars. Even with 75 cv you have fun with a pretty sound and good performances ( for 75 Cv ) because the cars were light. This car had a monopoint injection system if I'm not wrong that was designed to save fuel but at the end the engine had almost the same consum that the multipoint system...good test!!!
Yeah but the multipoint found on GT 1,4 and 1,6 made 85hp and 105 which is excellent for a hot hatch back then and the GT and gsi had a getrag 5speed .... this is normal . Astra f what a great hot hatch . And group A and N legend

Are you for real? These cars have bullet proof?? Or it's only on selected versions?.. I have my first car ever , it's an Opel Astra F 200ie euro 1998. I bought it in March and have suspected my windows to be bulletproof though 😃😂🤣
This engine was originally made for Opel Corsa A GSi and had multipoint injection (code C16SE) and had exactly 100hp. When Euro2 was introduced, the engine was downgraded to pass the required limits to 70hp (X16SZ) and few years later it came out with a newer ECU and gained 5 more hp resulting in 75hp. In late 90's the engine was rebuild to match Euro3 (Z16SZ) and returned to 70hp, but the mutlipoint edition returned as Z16SE with 86hp, but these were only for Astra G, Zafira A and Vectra B/C. But this engine was introduced even before Corsa was made. It's origin is in the 20NE engine, which was first real OHC engine. It replaced the Opel CIH (cam-in-head) engine, the 20E engine found in Opel Rekord, which was the first ever electronic injection engine by Opel. This engine is with few changes still used and is considered the most reliable gasoline engine ever made by GM.
Not bad, but please consider that Opel speedos of the '90s indicated often 10% more than real speed. My friend's family had a brand new 75 hp Astra in 1992, we hit the poor car sometimes up to 200 km/h shown, what equals to 180 km/h approximately... Doesn't matter, it was great fun that time, experiencing illegal speeds in Hungary as a youngster.
Impecable el Astra 1996, ensima 28.600km muy poco uso!! Ahora es increible el muchacho de la X6 que forro, creo que Alemania si no es el mejor pais del mundo en normas de transito, estan ahi y por algo tienen velocidad libre, ahora el tipo que va una BMW X6 y ve que viene un Opel del 96 atras es tan sobervio como en cualquier parte del mundo que no te va a dejar pasar. Increible!! Deci que termino cediendo.
А что она смогла? 8% минус смело, а я бы далее 10% взял за погрешность в минус. Дорога абсолютно ровная, без подъёмов и поворотов. Хороший подъём, поворот и скорость упадёт до 120-130 км\ч По тахометру видно, как двигатель после 4000 задыхается. С 5000 натяг еще существенней. (Не ездил, что увидел по видео, при тактильных ощущениях, можно дать более точные оценки). Что говорит о его не совершенстве при 16 кл. и объеме в 1.6л. К примеру моторы на Карине 4А-FE, схожие по геометрическим параметрам, но кардинально отличающиеся от выдаваемых характеристик. 105 л.с. и почти 150 КТ Что позволяет схожий по весу и аэродинамическому сопротивлению выполнять более проще маневры и разгонять немного быстрее. Воздушная подача проработана более грамотно, где 5000 достигаются с лёгкостью и только на 5600-5800 начинается задыхаться. А натяг оборотов и вовсе происходит свыше 6000. Повторюсь, оба мотора имеют схожие геометрические параметры. Возраст. А по расходу топлива, даже выигрывает 4-й А серии. Я уж не говорю о ресурсе, где понятие «миллионник» в России, появилось именно с моторов А-серии тойоты. Хотя по факту, миллион они никогда не бегали. Но тот ресурс, что они преодолевали на высокосернистом топливе в России, даже ее снился немецким моторам на уже в то время, низкосернистых топливе. Вывод. Немцы никогда не умели делать автомобили. Все восхищения связанные с их автомобилестроением, отсутствие собственного и географическая плотность населения. Говоря простым языком. 100 человек живущих в близи границы Германии, имеют больше голосов, чем 2 человека, живущих на другом конце страны от денежной столицы, где даже в 90-х электричество с АПЛ подавали, когда в денежной столице уже вовсю облизывали грязные бмв и мерседесы.
We had the same Astra F sedan in India from 1996-2003 . At first they introduced it with 75hp then they increased it to 84hp in 98 and finally increased it to 95hp in 2000 with Multipoint fuel injection engine slightly detuned for us as we had poor quality of fuel I guess . Anyway in India this car was poor man's Mercedes when it was launched in the 90s, only the rich and the powerful got it because above it was the Mercedes W124 E class. Anyway the Astra F in India had All power windows, power steering , Electronic ORVMs , Digital multi information display, Adjustable rear headrest ,ABS, Impact beams on all sides , Cooled glovebox and Galvanised steel unibody platform for Rust protection + Sunroof was also given in 1999 in the club variant . This was ahead of it's time by 6years atleast for India. Its one of my favourite cars 🚗 from childhood 😍 .I loved watching this video, I may never get to drive this car but I atleast got to feel it in this POV style drive vlog 😌😇❤🙌. Damn that 128nm torque was no joke . It looks quick even today. I am happy 😊.
ooOOooh the 1.6 8v eco version lol, I learnt to drive in one of these, hatchback model though. My dad had the 1.4 8v 80hp GLS, it was a great car, saloon like this too. Great vid, great car, thanks for the memories :)
wow, extra test, I have never had the courage and of course SPACE to check how much my identical Astra could achieve - my first own car over 10 years ago. My max was 170 on the speedometer.
The Astra was a very underated car. I used to drive an Astramax company van. Remember passing a BMW 316 clocking 120MPH I still remember the look on the poor Guys face as we cruised by his "premium" branded vehicle, strange but true..
I have a 1996 car. the truth in the station wagon was driven in 2006 from Germany, has served faithfully for 15 years !!! In addition to cosmetic and minor repairs and consumables, everything is native, even the paint is dear, many fit and wonder how the Opel is not rotten and in this state. You can make cars before without fancy electronics. I'm happy thanks to the engineers !!!
I owned one of those beauties for 7 years between 97-2004. It was a 5-door hatchback, model year ‘97, 1600 cc, 16 valve, 101 hp. In the vid we’re hearing the sound of 75hp. And how awesome it is. I installed only a performance air filter to mine and you can not believe the sound, that little motor starts roar after 3000-3500 rpm and it makes you feel like driving a GSI. One of the most reliable motors and car that I’ve ever owned.
I had a 92 Astra estate with 1.8i 90 hp engine. It was such a great car for long distance travel and it was very fuel efficient for its time. So sad that the rust got to it in the end and I had to sell it, would have kept it forever if it wasn't for that. They don't make them as they used to...
My Astra H 1.7CDTI with around 70HP can go almost that fast and it handles VERY well. It is very balanced and has nice grip on snow. Thats very well designed car.
Хорошая машина!!! Был опыт с такой машинкой, очень приятные впечатления остались! Конечно время идёт и автоиндустрия не стоит на месте, и этот вариант понятно уже устарел, но блин как бы я хотел покататся на таком же варианте который был у меня тогда, в 2007 году. После Жигулей это было просто бомба! По трассе можно было ехать 140-160 km/h и в салоне было тихо.
Очень хорошее соотношение оборотов/скорость. Располагает к дальним поездкам. На моей Opel Zafira "B" 1.8, с коробкой F 17 4000об всего 135км/ч. Таскать грузы хорошо, а по трассе очень шумно. Поставил шестерни пятой передачи от дизельной и теперь наслаждаюсь таким же соотношением скорость/обороты на пятой передаче😊
These were popular police cars in London when I was growing up, usually in 1.4 form rather than 1.6. You’d often see them going sideways round corners. You could hear them screaming away before you’d see them 😂
I would love to see an astra GSI from same era. If this 1.6 L, non turbo, 85 something HP basic car creates such a great sound and quite fun/high speeds, 2 Liter GSI probably gonna be way way faster.
Amazing how such a small engine can do so much. I had a 1998 Skoda Felicia 1.3 (68bhp) as my first car. Flat out on a flat road, it wouldn't do a smidge over 140kph.
Sounds like you had a flat tire then :) even my puny little 67 hp 2020 Hyundai i10 1.0 does 165 km/t easily. And it's probably a lot heavier than your old Skoda was :)
That X4 can do 230, show me where it’s written that if you drive a BMW you must always drive it like you stole it? I always smile when I see shitbox owners killing their engines just so they tell: today I passed a BMW. I let them, because I know that it’s the highlight of their week. It’s never the guy with BMW that tries to race shitbox owners, it’s always the other way around.
@@Pseudoaaajdhdhdhdhd I know it all depends on the owner and that the BMW could easily win, but whoever was driving that BMW should have moved out of the way.
@@doctoremil2678 that’s true. Some drivers are just holding the wheel, other drivers are driving. Driving it’s an art, you should always be aware of other’s intentions and move away if that is helping the traffic to flow smother.
This reminds me of 8 years ago i test drived a pre owned astra F 1.6ie. And guess what...i am a proud owner and its hard to let it go. I love this car.
I had the 1999 model for 5 years. Never any issues. Fuel consuption urban is little bit high 11l per 100 km but an good car. Fast enough Very comfort driving and handling.
I had a Opel Vectra with a similar Engine (but not the same). Also 1600ccm and 75 HP. In the registration Top Speed 175 Kph. Ran > 210 KpH steep downhill and 190 KpH flat. But thats according to the speedometer, in reality it was around 175 (GPS) flat terrain and ~190 downhill. This car is quitea bit slower in comparison, not even 190 downhill (that would be around 171 Kph measured via GPS). You have to take into account the the speedometers of that generation were at least 10% wrong in that speedrange.
@@TheMaurob1979 cars from this era are also lighter than the equivalent today, however, I find this to have low horsepower compared to 1.4 carburated engines from the 80s which produced already 70hp. Find it low power for a 1.6i
What a mighty fine engine and gear ratio, really, they make the most of 75HP and 120-something Nm. Also, I'm saddened but not surprised to see that BMW drivers are the same regardless of the country.
Der Astra F ist das entspannenste und beste Auto das jemals gebaut wurde. Deshalb habe ich auch meinen Mercedes Haufen der mir nur Stress vermittelt hat , verkauft 😁

Wahnsinn... Nur 28.000km gelaufen. Genial solche Fahrzeuge zu sehen. Ich dachte mein F Astra hat mit seinen 56.000km wenig gelaufen. Sehr schönes Fahrzeug.
When cars where actually becoming good instead of being endless moneypits. But with that ancient 1.6 SPI there's no way that car could reach 180, 160 maybe, but that's it. Opel speedos are known to be very optimistic.
Even if it shows 9-10 km ph more, 130km at 3100 RPM is still amazing for a 1.6. And the gears defiitely seemed to be pretty long too. Im wondering if its even stock? Is it possible the differential gears are changed to a 2 liter ones, or are the gears really longer on an Opel Astra F 1.6 than a Astra G 1.6? If so im seriously considering getting an older one, it would be really great for a long distance touring car!
@@meganoobbg3387 My Astra F run higher rpm on this speed. Maybe it because it was a stationcar or the 16V engine there run with relatively higher r.p.m.
@@Martin11969 My uncle's W202 Mercedes does 3000 rpm at 112 kmph, and my neigbours 316i BMW does 3000 rpm at 100, so its really amazing if an Astra can do better! The Astra on the video is definitely going pretty fast with low RPM, even if the speedometer shows 10 or 20 km plus, its visible the gears are definitely longer than the Astra G video i watched, and that was a 16v. My bet is the diff must've been changed to a gear with less teeth.
@@meganoobbg3387 it's stock transmission, I had 1997 1.6 16v Vectra, with 100hp and the same tranny, it had similar performance as this one (being a bigger car), top speed little under 200kph, per speedometer
from March 2007 till May 2015 i drove an 1997 Astra-F Caravan, Engine was the X18XE with 115hp and automatic. a good and reliable car. my daily way to work back then was 70Km one way, 60Km on Autobahn. when there was few traffic i let it run flat out and it reaches end of odometer (220Km/h). 2015 it failed the roadworthy-test (TÜV), too much rust. so i scrapped it with 384000 Km, first engine and tranny. now i miss him.

I have the same Opel Astra F with the same engine already nine years and I would say that it's the most bulletproof Opel they ever made
Are you for real? These cars have bullet proof?? Or it's only on selected versions?.. I have my first car ever , it's an Opel Astra F 200ie euro 1998. I bought it in March and have suspected my windows to be bulletproof though 😃😂🤣
This engine was originally made for Opel Corsa A GSi and had multipoint injection (code C16SE) and had exactly 100hp. When Euro2 was introduced, the engine was downgraded to pass the required limits to 70hp (X16SZ) and few years later it came out with a newer ECU and gained 5 more hp resulting in 75hp.
In late 90's the engine was rebuild to match Euro3 (Z16SZ) and returned to 70hp, but the mutlipoint edition returned as Z16SE with 86hp, but these were only for Astra G, Zafira A and Vectra B/C.
But this engine was introduced even before Corsa was made. It's origin is in the 20NE engine, which was first real OHC engine. It replaced the Opel CIH (cam-in-head) engine, the 20E engine found in Opel Rekord, which was the first ever electronic injection engine by Opel.
This engine is with few changes still used and is considered the most reliable gasoline engine ever made by GM.
incredible for 75hp...nice engine damn
Not bad, but please consider that Opel speedos of the '90s indicated often 10% more than real speed. My friend's family had a brand new 75 hp Astra in 1992, we hit the poor car sometimes up to 200 km/h shown, what equals to 180 km/h approximately... Doesn't matter, it was great fun that time, experiencing illegal speeds in Hungary as a youngster.
@@barnabaskiss2888 Yeah mine was the same, they had an issue with speedo and mine was off with around 20 km/h.
@@barnabaskiss2888 for 75hp 180kph is still insane
Обажаю эту модель.Разгонялся до 200км. Даже поднимался на ней, на крутой подъем в горы.
до 200 не едет на этом моторе.
Impecable el Astra 1996, ensima 28.600km muy poco uso!!
Ahora es increible el muchacho de la X6 que forro, creo que Alemania si no es el mejor pais del mundo en normas de transito, estan ahi y por algo tienen velocidad libre, ahora el tipo que va una BMW X6 y ve que viene un Opel del 96 atras es tan sobervio como en cualquier parte del mundo que no te va a dejar pasar. Increible!! Deci que termino cediendo.
Была у меня Астра, 94 года, 1,4-60л/с,160 ехала спокойно. Хорошая и экономичная машинка.
даже не знал что этот опель так может, видео отличное, было интересно 👏
А что она смогла?
8% минус смело, а я бы далее 10% взял за погрешность в минус.
Дорога абсолютно ровная, без подъёмов и поворотов.
Хороший подъём, поворот и скорость упадёт до 120-130 км\ч
По тахометру видно, как двигатель после 4000 задыхается. С 5000 натяг еще существенней. (Не ездил, что увидел по видео, при тактильных ощущениях, можно дать более точные оценки). Что говорит о его не совершенстве при 16 кл. и объеме в 1.6л.
К примеру моторы на Карине 4А-FE, схожие по геометрическим параметрам, но кардинально отличающиеся от выдаваемых характеристик. 105 л.с. и почти 150 КТ
Что позволяет схожий по весу и аэродинамическому сопротивлению выполнять более проще маневры и разгонять немного быстрее.
Воздушная подача проработана более грамотно, где 5000 достигаются с лёгкостью и только на 5600-5800 начинается задыхаться. А натяг оборотов и вовсе происходит свыше 6000.
Повторюсь, оба мотора имеют схожие геометрические параметры. Возраст. А по расходу топлива, даже выигрывает 4-й А серии. Я уж не говорю о ресурсе, где понятие «миллионник» в России, появилось именно с моторов А-серии тойоты. Хотя по факту, миллион они никогда не бегали.
Но тот ресурс, что они преодолевали на высокосернистом топливе в России, даже ее снился немецким моторам на уже в то время, низкосернистых топливе.
Вывод. Немцы никогда не умели делать автомобили. Все восхищения связанные с их автомобилестроением, отсутствие собственного и географическая плотность населения.
Говоря простым языком. 100 человек живущих в близи границы Германии, имеют больше голосов, чем 2 человека, живущих на другом конце страны от денежной столицы, где даже в 90-х электричество с АПЛ подавали, когда в денежной столице уже вовсю облизывали грязные бмв и мерседесы.
😂🤦♂️
ты ещё на моей десятке не ездил))
десятка сила, на которую нужно равняться 😂
@@holmes_mm ну на шеснаре она 200 едет
Шикарная машина!!!!! Очень люблю машины девяностых годов!!!
We had the same Astra F sedan in India from 1996-2003 . At first they introduced it with 75hp then they increased it to 84hp in 98 and finally increased it to 95hp in 2000 with Multipoint fuel injection engine slightly detuned for us as we had poor quality of fuel I guess .
Anyway in India this car was poor man's Mercedes when it was launched in the 90s, only the rich and the powerful got it because above it was the Mercedes W124 E class. Anyway the Astra F in India had All power windows, power steering , Electronic ORVMs , Digital multi information display, Adjustable rear headrest ,ABS, Impact beams on all sides , Cooled glovebox and Galvanised steel unibody platform for Rust protection + Sunroof was also given in 1999 in the club variant .
This was ahead of it's time by 6years atleast for India. Its one of my favourite cars 🚗 from childhood 😍 .I loved watching this video, I may never get to drive this car but I atleast got to feel it in this POV style drive vlog 😌😇❤🙌. Damn that 128nm torque was no joke . It looks quick even today. I am happy 😊.
Зацепило...Я на таком только 1.8л в 96г первый раз прокатился, прям ностальгия...спс.
Sadece 28.000km de 😍 Aracın içi ne kadar güzel. 90'ların arabalarında ki iç dizaynı şimdiki arabalarda bulamıyorum, nedense daha sıcak geliyor bana.
Aynen
Avrupa'da böyle, 90'ların arabaları hala sanki son modelmiş gibi tertemiz. Bizde eski arabalar döküntü oluyor.
içim gitti benim de araca. 140 km hıza gelince 4 e attı herif.
@@Cengizhan_Bayram 😂
@ bizjm araba 5. Viteste o hıza çıkınca bı tarafı geçiyor 😂
ooOOooh the 1.6 8v eco version lol, I learnt to drive in one of these, hatchback model though. My dad had the 1.4 8v 80hp GLS, it was a great car, saloon like this too. Great vid, great car, thanks for the memories :)
My dad have 2001 Opel Astra F, and it have bulletproof engine :D for me, this is the best Opel they ever made
wow, extra test, I have never had the courage and of course SPACE to check how much my identical Astra could achieve - my first own car over 10 years ago. My max was 170 on the speedometer.
ثَـاآنْگْسْ
I'm a HUGE fan of Astra F, great car.
same
The Astra was a very underated car. I used to drive an Astramax company van. Remember passing a BMW 316 clocking 120MPH I still remember the look on the poor Guys face as we cruised by his "premium" branded vehicle, strange but true..
I had this model in my youth. Drove so much, all day and night.
Wow only 28 thousand km, what a gem!
I have a 1996 car. the truth in the station wagon was driven in 2006 from Germany, has served faithfully for 15 years !!! In addition to cosmetic and minor repairs and consumables, everything is native, even the paint is dear, many fit and wonder how the Opel is not rotten and in this state. You can make cars before without fancy electronics. I'm happy thanks to the engineers !!!
I owned one of those beauties for 7 years between 97-2004. It was a 5-door hatchback, model year ‘97, 1600 cc, 16 valve, 101 hp.
In the vid we’re hearing the sound of 75hp. And how awesome it is.
I installed only a performance air filter to mine and you can not believe the sound, that little motor starts roar after 3000-3500 rpm and it makes you feel like driving a GSI.
One of the most reliable motors and car that I’ve ever owned.
actually driving this one today :D He has 24 yrs on his back, but only 157k km ;D Pushed him easily to 190+km/h :D
Oh, Lord, where did you found that?! It's a real time-capsule! And dam very good for 75hp. P.s. waiting for E38 BMW...
Overtaking the X6 shit was purely EPIC ! ;D
yeah bigger and more powerfull but the guy was not also willing to cruise at 170kmh, he should also get a astra f.
It's funny that 90s cars with 75hp can do 180-190 and todays cars with small turbo engines with 100-125 hp do the same top speed
Well even the "smallest" city cars today weigh about the same as an e class from the 80s so its not really surprising
@@varolussalsanclar1163 weight really doesn't matter much in top speed. I would imagine it's gearing limitations mostly for new cars.
Cars are a lot heavier than in the 90s, thus why. They can't go too fast to reduce emmisions required for homologation.
I had a 92 Astra estate with 1.8i 90 hp engine. It was such a great car for long distance travel and it was very fuel efficient for its time. So sad that the rust got to it in the end and I had to sell it, would have kept it forever if it wasn't for that. They don't make them as they used to...
Increíble Opel ostra viejo a 200 kph y más estable que el propio Mercedes verdaderamente los Opel son ingeniosos carros
Really impressive for 75hp!
My Astra H 1.7CDTI with around 70HP can go almost that fast and it handles VERY well. It is very balanced and has nice grip on snow. Thats very well designed car.
My 2CV runs almost 160 on a trailer behind a Huracan!
Хорошая машина!!!
Был опыт с такой машинкой, очень приятные впечатления остались! Конечно время идёт и автоиндустрия не стоит на месте, и этот вариант понятно уже устарел, но блин как бы я хотел покататся на таком же варианте который был у меня тогда, в 2007 году. После Жигулей это было просто бомба! По трассе можно было ехать 140-160 km/h и в салоне было тихо.
Пробег несмутил
I have an Astra F 2001. 1.6 75 HP. So far it has gone 86000 Km. I really like the car.
Очень хорошее соотношение оборотов/скорость. Располагает к дальним поездкам. На моей Opel Zafira "B" 1.8, с коробкой F 17 4000об всего 135км/ч. Таскать грузы хорошо, а по трассе очень шумно. Поставил шестерни пятой передачи от дизельной и теперь наслаждаюсь таким же соотношением скорость/обороты на пятой передаче😊
Super voiture ! Astra F ❤❤❤❤
Спасибо за видео, помню эту машину. Приятно.
Привет, у нас не все жигульвагены так ускоряются, все таки немцы умеют делать вещи
I still remember I was a kid when we had this beauty Astra Club 20 years ago in India. Sad it wasn't reliable one on our roads.
Очень люблю такие машины смотреть! 👍👍👍
На них лучше ездить))))
@@opel9596 а лучше и не ездить а в утиль отправить.
180 kph with just 75 hp, it must be very aerodynamic.
These were popular police cars in London when I was growing up, usually in 1.4 form rather than 1.6. You’d often see them going sideways round corners. You could hear them screaming away before you’d see them 😂
I love this engine and the car
3:22 pedal to the metal 🤙
This car was left to me by my grandfather and it is as immortal as his memory for me
Wow bardzo niski przebieg Astry,daje rady piękny test pozdrawiam
Чем скромнее авто, тем больше эмоций...
I would love to see an astra GSI from same era. If this 1.6 L, non turbo, 85 something HP basic car creates such a great sound and quite fun/high speeds, 2 Liter GSI probably gonna be way way faster.
Bring back memories with my Corsa B 1.4. Such a lovely car.
Amazing how such a small engine can do so much.
I had a 1998 Skoda Felicia 1.3 (68bhp) as my first car. Flat out on a flat road, it wouldn't do a smidge over 140kph.
Sounds like you had a flat tire then :) even my puny little 67 hp 2020 Hyundai i10 1.0 does 165 km/t easily. And it's probably a lot heavier than your old Skoda was :)
Maintained Felicia 1.3 will do 160, easily.
Astra is a popular model in Brazil, so is very nice to see this video hahaha (this version wasn't released here, but is still nice to see)
That BMW must have been shitting bricks! After spending so much money on a car like that, they couldn't even race an ancient Astra.
Owners of expensive cars are sometimes scared to go faster lol
That X4 can do 230, show me where it’s written that if you drive a BMW you must always drive it like you stole it? I always smile when I see shitbox owners killing their engines just so they tell: today I passed a BMW. I let them, because I know that it’s the highlight of their week. It’s never the guy with BMW that tries to race shitbox owners, it’s always the other way around.
@@Pseudoaaajdhdhdhdhd I know it all depends on the owner and that the BMW could easily win, but whoever was driving that BMW should have moved out of the way.
@@doctoremil2678 that’s true. Some drivers are just holding the wheel, other drivers are driving. Driving it’s an art, you should always be aware of other’s intentions and move away if that is helping the traffic to flow smother.
This reminds me of 8 years ago i test drived a pre owned astra F 1.6ie. And guess what...i am a proud owner and its hard to let it go. I love this car.
какая хорошая шумоизоляция автомобиля!
Those are some healthy 75hp, I'm also impressed by the gearing on this but it I guess it makes sense for germany
Nice car. It was really popular in Poland, especially named classic
I still have one
I had the 1999 model for 5 years.
Never any issues.
Fuel consuption urban is little bit high 11l per 100 km but an good car.
Fast enough
Very comfort driving and handling.
I think 75hp engine cannot be faster like this!
Yes incredible.. More than 180 damn
I had a Opel Vectra with a similar Engine (but not the same). Also 1600ccm and 75 HP. In the registration Top Speed 175 Kph. Ran > 210 KpH steep downhill and 190 KpH flat. But thats according to the speedometer, in reality it was around 175 (GPS) flat terrain and ~190 downhill.
This car is quitea bit slower in comparison, not even 190 downhill (that would be around 171 Kph measured via GPS). You have to take into account the the speedometers of that generation were at least 10% wrong in that speedrange.
@@madaeon1 yes I was looking at the 180 not the 195 becouse was downhill.. But keep in mind 75 hp is almost nothing.. And still can push to 180
@@TheMaurob1979 cars from this era are also lighter than the equivalent today, however, I find this to have low horsepower compared to 1.4 carburated engines from the 80s which produced already 70hp. Find it low power for a 1.6i
@@mikemx55 absolutely agree are lighter
What a mighty fine engine and gear ratio, really, they make the most of 75HP and 120-something Nm.
Also, I'm saddened but not surprised to see that BMW drivers are the same regardless of the country.
Очень достойно едет как для 1.6😯👏
Пробег 28 тысяч у неё
где достоинство? уровень 2110 с 8кл мотором. это не о чём 15с до 10км\ч, достойно это чипованый рио с 1.6 за 10с.
@@ДИМАПЛЯСУНОВ-ц4ф а Рио тоже 96 года? У Рио тоже аэродинамика топора, сделана по технологии 90х?

28t km ik 25 years! Amazing
Those 8v engines were so torquy, nicer to drive day-to-day then 16v engines, that need more revs
Opel a fait de très bon moteur, le 1.6 100 hp de la Corsa gsi en 88 était déjà un bon exemple 👌
28000Km это вообще не реально 🔥🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏👏👍👍👍

Это немцы они умеют следить и ремонтировать машины.
Mine is 1994 Astra F 2.0 Cabriolet and good to see this old pal on youtube.
When cars where actually becoming good instead of being endless moneypits. But with that ancient 1.6 SPI there's no way that car could reach 180, 160 maybe, but that's it. Opel speedos are known to be very optimistic.
My Astra F from 1997 with X16XEL show 9km/t to much in town and over 10 to much on autobahn. So yes, it show to much.
Even if it shows 9-10 km ph more, 130km at 3100 RPM is still amazing for a 1.6. And the gears defiitely seemed to be pretty long too. Im wondering if its even stock? Is it possible the differential gears are changed to a 2 liter ones, or are the gears really longer on an Opel Astra F 1.6 than a Astra G 1.6? If so im seriously considering getting an older one, it would be really great for a long distance touring car!
@@meganoobbg3387 My Astra F run higher rpm on this speed. Maybe it because it was a stationcar or the 16V engine there run with relatively higher r.p.m.
@@Martin11969 My uncle's W202 Mercedes does 3000 rpm at 112 kmph, and my neigbours 316i BMW does 3000 rpm at 100, so its really amazing if an Astra can do better! The Astra on the video is definitely going pretty fast with low RPM, even if the speedometer shows 10 or 20 km plus, its visible the gears are definitely longer than the Astra G video i watched, and that was a 16v. My bet is the diff must've been changed to a gear with less teeth.
@@meganoobbg3387 it's stock transmission, I had 1997 1.6 16v Vectra, with 100hp and the same tranny, it had similar performance as this one (being a bigger car), top speed little under 200kph, per speedometer

W Polsce o takim aucie mówią asterka boża 😁
from March 2007 till May 2015 i drove an 1997 Astra-F Caravan, Engine was the X18XE with 115hp and automatic. a good and reliable car. my daily way to work back then was 70Km one way, 60Km on Autobahn. when there was few traffic i let it run flat out and it reaches end of odometer (220Km/h). 2015 it failed the roadworthy-test (TÜV), too much rust. so i scrapped it with 384000 Km, first engine and tranny. now i miss him.
