HI, am new here and would like to buy me a new car soon, but the decision is quite difficult for me. Schwanke at the moment between Astra GTC 1,9CDTi with 150PS and Honda Civic 2,2iCDTi with 140PS, have both already tested, both drive really great. Powerful engines etc. What would you prefer, please objective opinion, Opel does not have the best image even if they work on it and should have become better by now. Is it with the durability of the two cars, i.e. engine, rusting etc.? I am very grateful about every tip that helps me with my decision. Here are a few things that I noticed during my test drive: Honda Civic: + Large interior, good powerful motor, good workmanship – high consumption (7,6l), opaqueness, bad brakes Opel Astra GTC: + very economical engine (6,5l) with the same driving method as Civic, very good brakes – opaqueness (retrospection) In my opinion, this is also a disadvantage of the Civic, that it is sometimes much more expensive in both taxes and insurance than the Astra. I mean, by and large, it’s both top cars, so I want to know your opinion about it, and I’ve heard that Honda no longer has the quality as it was 10 years ago. There are also constantly shortcomings, including worn-out shock absorbers, first set Brakes already at 20tkm down, I also noticed this with the test car, the brakes are significantly worse compared to Opel, delay is clearly too weak with this engineization in my opinion. Give me also your experience in terms of mileage, so many workshop stays or totally reliable……. So I hope I get a few answers. Thank you in advance
