After having driven a lot of OPELS, my current Opel Astra Sports Tourer from 2017 will, unfortunately, be my last OPEL!

The Navigation of my then brand new Astra, was at least 3 years behind in purchase. After an expensive update, the backlog was still at least 3 years. Comment from the Opel dealer: "This is what the manufacturer sends us, sorry we have no better". My navigation is and will always be in my way, but always inconvenient, lost my way!

The automatic switch from day to night lighting also switches the display. From the day of delivery, however, it occasionally switches during the day, when the sun just shines to night mode. It is then impossible to read the display for, among other things. navigation, radio and rear view camera. Comments from Opel-Nederland, together with my Opel dealer, which I had consulted frequently for 1.5 years for this problem: "the system works as Opel intended and we cannot make it work better for you". In short, an unrecoverable design error. My display is and therefore remains pitch black every now and then during the day and cannot be read out for navigation, reversing camera and radio.

Great such a car!
