The new Astra is such a dissapointment on the road

Don't be fooled by its looks, the new Astra can't perfom on the road it's not even funny. I bought the car brand new in 2011 & I could spot the lack of perfomance but I thought it was bcoz it was still a new car and needed a few drives before it can start showing it's true performance, since then it has never been different. Even small engine cars like i20 and Polo 1.4 which I have driven does so well on the road & much better than it can do. Last year I then sent a letter to GM to tell them of my dissappointment and was hoping they could have a solution but instead they told me there was nothing they could do, I should take this up with the dealer I bought from, I was shocked as this was a factory issue. Despite I still went to GM Germiston to tell them of this but they r not even considring my predicament, they want me to buy another car and trade in like normal. I was shocked to learn that GM had a project where they took back these 1.6 Astras & gave owners the 1.4 Turbos, I was never told of this this despite the fact that I already sent a complain. surely they knw very well of this problem, hence they had this project. Dont waste your money like i did, u will regret forever.
