When you bring the Sienna in the equation the story will be different. However that didn't sell either. But Astra in my opinion was a pretty numb car. I am speaking from using the Astra generation sold in India in both India and UK. Escort was more agile, but yes never felt as solid. Sienna 1.6 however was my darling it was solid as well as provided whatever masala some of us look for. The Indian Opel engine was pretty unresponsive too, what prompted them to go for Single point fuel injection one shall never know.
