Greetings fr KL ð

 

The 1.4 feels gd on NSHW ð

 

Guess I'm the only Opel around ð

My heart says 1.4

 

My wife n wallet says 1.0

 

End up, my heart n piggy bank wins ð

 

I think not big diff la.. Toyota also made in Thai. Ppl still buy ma.. Right ð

Don't think Astra K having sedan version in Sg. Aiyo want boot space, go for the wagon la.. Auto tailgate cool lei.. If only hatch comes with Auto tailgate ð

How fast did u go on the NSHW? how the engine sound? Car stable?

[ki_chiu]

insignia abit on the pricey side...and not as fast. diesel looks tasty though. but my aim is to get a shorter car than current ride; the insignia is way too much of an upgrade haha.

 

initially banged up my sedan quite a few times because backside too big and long lol. booty of this size needs at least 99 rear sensors

 

if only we did coordinate a group buy.... haha

 

sure can shave off quite alot even with everything thrown in

Bro, I don't think a group buy will makes a big diff. Cos I calculate their Omv n cost, they are making min profits liao.. It's also partly becos of this which I feels that it's a gd buy.. I also thought of organizing a group buy initially.. But aft checking the Omv, I work out the cost involve.. Thus I didn't go ahead with organizing..

 

Maybe get abit more freebies la.. But price wise I don't think have much difference

The car I believe can go abv 200km but the speed limiter on my left gets activated each time I pass 150km ð­

 

Actually fr 120-150km, car still feels very planted and torquey..

 

Guess most conti behaves dis way

Already booked, so no chance for group nego anyway lol

 

 

150km limiter can switch off? My kimchi 190 also don't make noise

My sales exec told me made in Germany leh.

Sgcarmart also says Germany.

Confirm Poland and UK?

Opel official site states which plant makes which models.

 

Only saw Poland and UK making the astra

BAAAAAHAHAHAAHHA ok

[Westguy]

Maybe that's why the brochure says 'German engineered' instead of 'Made in Germany'. Haha

Wah liddat, the SE can be sued for misrepresentation leh!

[Arch1984]

Made in UK? Pound drop alot wor. New buyers maybe try ask see if can get more discount esp if ur car not in SG yet.

[Westguy]

Ok so i looked up where the Astra K is made.

 

If the engine chassis code has 'GG' in it, it's made in Poland.

If the engine chassis code has 'G8' in it, it's made in UK.

[merc280v6]

Maybe that's why the brochure says 'German engineered' instead of 'Made in Germany'. Haha

Yup, many German-branded products made elsewhere have labels stating:

- Engineered in Germany

- Designed in Germany

 

I recalled the time when the BMW E46 316i was made in South Africa and the 318i in Germany.

At PML's showroom, the displayed 318i had various stickers on B-pillar and under bonnet, stating "Made in Germany".

The 316i also had similar stickers, but stating "Made by BMW"!!!

 

Why so? A marketing ploy?

The Germans are indeed very proud to make known their products are indeed made in Fatherland, with "Made in Germany" emblazoned clearly.

Otherwise, all you may see is "XYZ GmbH, Germany".

The latter does NOT imply that the product is actually made in Germany!
