oh my god, it is almost two years since I bought Astra J with this lovely 1.4T 140 engine. I remember when I a year before buying my first car watching this video. After two years I love this car. I added extra oil to M32 gearbox and it works very nice. I have got whistles on 5 and 6 gang but since 27 k km it is nothing more. Astra J is a powerful and beatiful car. Every kilometer is a pleasure.
Hey, u ever ran any serious problems with the car? Thinking of buying one with 90tkm driven, need to drive 1000km trips once a year, so need something reliable..
@@Jeizv When I bought it, it had 108 kkm. Now 147500. Since 2,5 year there werent any big problems. Typical for this model: coolant tank, EVAP (only check engine, nothing more but I replaced it the best substitute from China and works since today) and thermostat. I replaced too belt tensioner (belt, not chain, chain is in very good condition). Since I bought it M32 is whispering but I added extra oil and since 40kkm it works perfect but softly whispering on 5th and 6th gear, on 1th gear shift knob moves only a few milimeters (nothing change since 108kkm). I love this car and this engine it is very economic and dynamic but must be well-groomed. :) I had never serious problems with this car and engine i think its very reliable. Change oil change the oil a maximum of every 10 thousand km.
It's a heavy car, it feels like 120hp in Ford Focus. I dro e both 100hp and 140hp Astra J. The 100 seems a proper engine, but the car lacks acceleration.
Hi, there... how does the car feel? Do you feel it as heavy and slow, the engine struggle with the weight or this engine is OK for it. And how is the noise at 120 on the highway? I'm wondering does it worth to pay double and more for Astra K or safe some cash with facelifted Astrra J ...
It's a little too loud, but still comfortable. I don't complain, just don't expect the same quality as Audi. It's a lower tier. I personally went for a high end executive Astra J. I could afford Astra K. K is much lighter and has 1.4 150hp, but the engines after the facelift in 2015 are poor, so only early models 2016-2019.
Hy! I saw a few years ago the first video driving this astra, when it was almost brand new. Now I.m looking to buy this car 1.4 or 1.6 turbo. Can you tell me if you encounter big problems with it? I ask you because I apreciate that you keep this car since 2011 when you post the first video. Thank you!
Tobias Just after months of searching, I finally ordered a beautiful Astra Sedan 1.4 turbo, which is expected to arrive in July. Thank you so much for your advice! and also a lot of thanks to Angelos Fotiadis, because of his videos I decided to buy this car and I would like to see more videos.
***** yes, you.re right! My previous car was a heavy Opel Vectra Gts 1.9 cdti with 120 hp, which wasn.t too quick. I hope that my new Astra 1.4 turbo to be more agile:)
@@Mackanvafan The 1.4 Turbo in this video should have that transmission. Wonder if he's had that problem? I'm considering buying the car and I think it would still be a good buy once you fix problem with the bearings (if it ever comes up).
How your m32 gearbox working? Do you have any problems with it? I want buy Astra J 2009-2011 with 1.4turbo 140 ps. Im scared after reading opinions about m32
@@czarsonico should be fine forever after that. Drain the old oil, add fresh oil, and add an extra 2-300ml. Check out some opel/chevy cruze forums for exactly how much to add extra.
@@Netlogic. Oh thanks. I heard that m32s after 2013 are corrected but before 2013 have got factory defect which cant be repaired and gearboxes after 80k km again will be broken. This is good information that extra oil can for forever keep m32 in good condition
U driving to fast i rather drive slow and enjoy my ride without stress and worried about i might crash in any sec 😂 everything got its own time and place if u like action i believe

Do you rev match or heel and toe?

Don't buy it if it has the m32 transmission. I did that. Bad bearings is very very common on them.

Add extra oil, it doesn't have enough from the factory
@@Netlogic. After that my gearbox will be okay for longer time?
