2013 Vauxhall Astra VXR 2.0 Petrol Manual 3dr Coupe

Description

So, I’ve got this 2013 Vauxhall Astra VXR 3dr – not the flashy one, but the one that actually feels like it’s meant to be driven. It’s got just under 56k miles, so it’s not worn out, just honest about how it’s been used.

It’s painted a bold blue – not some boring factory shade, it’s one of those blues that catches the light and makes you glance at it every time you pass it. The car cuts a sharp figure, especially when you’re turning into a driveway or pulling up to a quiet road.

Under the hood, it’s a 2.0-litre engine – not the biggest, but it gives you that punchy, responsive feel. It’s not a track car, but it’s definitely alive when you take it out for a proper drive. Whether you’re doing the local round or just cruising, it’s got that kind of presence you don’t get from a boring hatchback.

Inside, it’s clean, not flashy, but comfortable. The seats are still firm, the dash isn’t dusty, and everything’s in easy reach. The tech isn’t top-of-the-line by today’s standards, but it’s reliable and gets the job done.

Safety features are solid – ESP, pretensioner seat belts, all that. I’ve had it checked recently and it’s in good shape, no major worries.

I’ve kept it well, mostly on the road, not in the garage. It’s not the most modern car, but it’s solid, reliable, and actually fun to drive.

I’m based in Lowestoft, East Suffolk, so if you’re local or passing through, I’m happy to show it over. I’ve been driving it for years, and I know what it’s like to actually use a car day-to-day – not just look at it.

If you’ve ever wanted a car that doesn’t shout but still gives you a bit of confidence on the road, this might be it.

Price is £7,911 – fair for what it is, honestly.

If you’re interested, just drop me a message – no pressure, just a quick chat. I’m not selling it to make a quick buck, I’m just passing it on to someone who’ll actually enjoy driving it.

(And yeah, I’m not running a showroom. I just happen to have this one and I’m not going to let it sit idle.)
