New Opel Astra consistently tuned for low cost of ownership

Reliability and safety – according to current surveys these are the most important criteria for customers in Germany when buying a car. Right behind these in third and fourth position are fuel consumption and operating costs. Particularly in tough economic times, these purchasing criteria become even more important. Opel's customer-orientation has once again led to an attractive offer with the new Astra.

The Astra impresses not only with its dynamic design and the fact that it's really fun to drive, it also helps buyers save money with its fair price and low operating costs. These are kept down thanks to insurance classifications up to four classes less expensive than its predecessor, a consistently repair-friendly design and long and flexible service intervals.

The low-consumption engines comply with Euro 4 emission standards and are tax-exempt until the end of 2005. Customers also profit from the 12-year anti-perforation warranty and a two-year manufacturer's new car warranty. More good news for owners of the new Opel Astra is the Eurotax Schwacke experts' prediction of a top resale value.
