    I would only take someone's opinion if they have owned a car

    My mate owns one and has had no issues

    Never heard of a problem with the turbos on the Astra, I have heard about the issues with the M32 gearbox though

    Valve stem oil seals are weak and cause a puff of oil some times

    From hanging around vxr online here is what I have heard. Ive not heard much of turbo problems although manifolds are prone to cracking and the gearboxs are very weak.
