How bad can an Opel Astra be as a first car?

Not at all?

Rust.

Horrific

i have a G with the 1.6 16v at 236k km and it's fine for now

1.6 G 2004 at 130k km

hardly anything wrong with it then
it's not really cool or fun either

>fun
its fun af desu, its german twingo

nah it's much bigger and heavier
you're thinking of the previous gen corsa

No, the german Twingo is the VW Up

Not really, Astra isn't that bad

Don't worry, I have Skoda Fabia as a first car :D

For what money? Aren't there any other options?

$3000

A friend of mine has 2.2 dti wagon. It is pretty slow and anything can break anytime. The low quality shouldn't be a surprise.

not cute
autistic car that pretends to be fast while just being a literal cuck shed

So Twingo?

Astra s better than most first cars.

Could do worse. Could be a Corsa

1.7 diesel with 417k here. Its the definition of shitbox.

reliable engine, looks like a clio 2 on the inside, cheap parts, easy to maintain, can be a tiny bit consuming if gas powered, and if on a tight budget. Otherwise no problem. It's a good car, just be sure to have someone with you, if you ain't go no clue about cars when buying

It won't pull a Ford on you and leave you halfway.

It will if the timing belt breaks, which it will because it's an Astra.

Avoid, OP. They're trash.
