Mega-economy Astra

[Mr Gear]

What was the name of the Astra diesel from a few years ago that did monster mpg? It had a name like "Eco4" or something, but I can't find any info. I am trying to recommend this as a car for someone.

ECO4.

They're just a LS spec 1.7DTI, fitted with a flat body-length undertray, 5th so tall that you need to be going downhill with a tailwind to use, bicycle tyres. They're rubbish, just get a late Sport or Enjoy spec Mk4 1.7CDTI. 15hp higher output from the engine, proper wheels, proper gearbox, and better fuel economy.

youll be lucky to get 60mpg out of it though roadtax is cheap at 90 a year they came with 1.7 dti + 1.7 cdti engones

i got a 1.7 cdti sxi (mk4) same spec on paper but prettier with alloys sporty seats etc still got the undertray but not full length
