My dad's car aint nothing flash but it is slightly rare if your one of those odd-ball Vauxhall lovers....its a four door CDX Astra G, fully loaded. Has caused a few problems in the past with things like insurance companies as most of their books seem to only list a 2dr coupe, a 3dr hatch or 5dr hatch....4dr saloon not being common at all. Whilst working for Vauxhall I only saw 2 others.
