Astra 1.4 Life..value? - midlifecrisis
In the never ending search for a replacement car for 'er indoors, spotted a Vx Astra 1.4 life (poverty spec, but with all the necessary gadgets). 55 reg, 26000m for £4200.

I would appreciate any informed comments on the compatibility of the smallish engine with the car and any reliability issues. A Focus was the preferred option, but this is around £1000 cheaper than an similar age Focus.

(I know these 'what car' threads can be annoying at times...but it might eventually get me to make a decision :) )
