New Astra Diesel 1.3 - Any Good?

Hi,

As anyone drove a new shape Astra fitted with the Fiat 1.3 Turbo Diesel. Its a more powerful engine that whats in the Tigra or Corsa.

On paper the 1.3 is more powerful and faster than the 1.7 Vauxhall Diesel. The 1.3 has a six speed gear box.

What are they like to drive. I aint buying until later this year so dont want to test drive just yet. I cannot find any user reviews just press reviews which I dont trust as much.

Best regards

Barry
