we rented a Vaxhuall Astra GTC CTDI for a week, drove from sheffield to edinburgh to inverness to lake district back to sheffield. also made 2 short road trips to manchester and birmingham.
filled her up only thrice, and drove approximately 2000 miles.
it was a 3 door car, but it seated 4 adults very comfortably. it had all features (cruise control, climate control, stop/start, satellite radio, traction control and 4 airbags). the only thing missing was a sat-nav but the directions on the roads are very clear so we hardly got lost.
the drive was amazing, and its acceleration was phenomenal.
