Fleet And Personal Car Reviews – An Unbiased Review Of The Vauxhall Astra 1.6 Exclusive

August 20th, 2011

As part of a series of reviews for fleet management teams as well as private buyers, our team of experts took a look at the Vauxhall Astra 1.6 Exclusive. The initial feeling was that for a ride that looks terrific both on the outside and inside, the Astra is an excellent option. Its high quality plastic cabin is terrific for shutting out road noise and helps to provide a smooth ride.

There has been a lot of debate recently concerning the comparison of petrol versus diesel engines, which has led to some fleets to look into entry level petrol motors as an alternative with the potential to prove to be a better cost alternative.

We tested the Vauxhall Astra 1.6 Exclusive, with a petrol engine, for a week’s time. And a value of 17,310 pounds. The 1.7L Ecoflex Exclusive is the closest comparison diesel alternative. Coming in at 18,740 pounds not only is it the more expensive option but also does not retain its value as well and has inferior steering.

Review of 2012 Buick Enclave

August 5th, 2011

Though many people believed that the days of being able to buy a Buick were long gone, the brand comes back with a bang and starts offering vehicles that are going to appeal to all ages and genders. One of these vehicles is the 2012 Buick Enclave that is going to be competing against some stiff competition in the SUV crossover market, while also taking away some of the consumers from the minivan market, since it does offer about the same amount of room for people that are looking for the room that they are needing.

So what is new for the 2012 version of the Enclave? Most people are going to find that it basically remains unchanged from the previous year, which is good news since so many people loved the Enclave for 2011. For those that may have been hiding under a rock and are uncertain of just what they are getting, then they are in for a surprise.
