That's interesting, didn't know they had a 125ps engine. Had a quick look on VX configurator and can see that not all engines are available with all trims!

I am not sure why you felt the need to reply like that - he was just making a simple statement. Making a statement that you've not heard of something doesn't mean that your attitude stinks.

For the record, I've not heard of it either. Before you get upset, that doesn't mean that I disbelieve you, simply that this is the first time I have heard of it. We are all here to share our knowledge and enjoyment of our cars, let's not turn it into a place where people are jumping down each other's throats please.

Jinky, I don't think anyone is having a go at you or your car. Vauxhall don't mention any special editions on their website, so any that are out there are new to us. Likewise the 125bhp engine isn't available on SRi or Elite specs. I think there are only two owners of Energy spec cars on here so most of us haven't come across the 125bhp car. Your car looks fantastic, in the best colour.

With regards to the special edition my local dealer (Thurlow Nunn) did advertise an Energy as a special edition, not sure why though. I think someone on here said that internally Vauxhall were referring to some models as special editions even though they were normal range specs.

Go on to astra Web site press on to the energy model go down to mod and choose engine mines the 1.4I turbo manual 6speed.on my docs for car it says special edition but for some reason not on Web site for this.i do apologise but to me it came across he was not believing me.so to Joe soz.ps love my car except for fuel filling up error.

I didn't either, but it seems to be available on the following trims:

Design
Tech Line
Energy

Apologies if you didnt like my reply to your post. I mearly said i havent heard of any special edition Astra MK7's. I was hoping for you to explain what makes your car a special edition as i was very much interested. Never once did i think you were lying. So if you havent fallen out with me can you explain what comes with a special edition Astra?

Many Thanks!

 

[MarcR]

Thanks 1900sr!

Definitely was not disputing what the car was. When I chose my car, as I went for the Sri Nav spec the 125ps option was not even mentioned as it is not available. Your post was the first I had heard of that engine power output.

Will be interesting to hear your views on how the car performs compared to what the 105 & 150ps guys are saying about their cars. It's always good to get someone on that has a different variant of the car.

 

[jinky70]

My test drive was the 1.0 turbo was lovley to drive so liked it and got my car 2 weeks later loved it as I was one of the first to have one still to the day the surprises me.

You've probably seen that there is a software fix available for the fuel gauge error, as long as your car is a British built one. My car is booked in to have this done on the 5th April. If you've not already done so I'd get in touch with your dealer and get yours booked in.

Edit, just remembered you've got yours booked in for Thursday, let us know how you get on. Hopefully they'll do the update for you.

 

[MarcR]

Did you get any optional extras?

If you update your profile to show the car details in the signature that is good. As when someone who is this king of buying comes along, they know who to ask about what trim, colour or engine etc.

 

[jinky70]

Got winter pack.ie heated seats mirrors and steering wheel got to admit the heated seats are brilliant especially in cold frosty mornings..

 

[SwissTJ]

Wish I hadn't asked now...

Yes, VX do (or did) call the Energy trim level a Special Edition, even though it is, in effect, a standard production run spec.
Same with Corsa Energy.
Or the Limited Edition. Which isn't.
Or this Purple Mokka. Which is.

Occasionally, dealer groups will promote their own 'Special Edition' of a particular car so that's what i thought your car may have been.
