I am from the US and the version we get of this car is a Buick Verano. Unfortunately a second generation is not coming here but instead will be replaced with an SUV. Quite frankly I love this car and find it very reliable and receive compliments on it even as it is now over 5 years old. I have owned many cars through my life, with saying that it is very obvious the Germanic engineering as well as feeling that Buick also has its fingerprints all over the vehicle as well (for those who don't know the Buick brand it is a very old US manufacturer owned by GM known for luxury). I have owned 4 Buick's before this one and they all fell into that typical American stigma of not being able to take corners yet were very comfortable for very long trips on our interstate road system. The Verano, though smaller than the others I've owned, is my favorite. Ad I said it is a 3012 which I purchased brand new and as of today only have 22k miles on it, so I look for watt o enjoying my Buick/Opel/Vauxhall for many years to come. And lastly I enjoyed your very in depth review of this vehicle. All the details that one could want you provide. Keep it up and I will continue to follow! By the way as a side note; this vehicle was offered on the US with a 2.4l twin cam, direct injected, Ecotec engine offering 185 hp as its base engine. The other engine available is a 2.0l Turbo engine offering 260 hp. Both engines get along really well.

I really enjoyed the amazing driving shots and your English Mr. Zee! Don't change cause your English adds the perfect amount of humor :) I have to say, it seemed like you really missed Toby especially at 14:26.... I honestly thought you were going to shed a tear :( Anyway answering your question about the coin holder in the glove box, I actually use it as I put my parking meter money in it, but in my car it is next to the steering wheel, not in a stupid place like the glove box. Also I noticed that this car has many weird things missing, like no light in the glove box, no drivers grab handle, no way to adjust seat belt height, no armrest in the back and no adaptive cruise control even though it has collision warning which makes no sense to me! Plus I have to agree with you on the reversing camera, it looks weird and is in a horrible position. Oh, I just remembered the thing about the steering wheel. Instead of "Coated in leather", you can say "Wrapped in leather".

Doesn't surprise me that it's a fun torquey car to drive. Opel is one of the best motorists in the world when it comes to petrol compact engines. Eventhough they usually display personal designs I feel this one has some Citroën DNA in it but still very attractive. Typical US semi-premium setup combining upscale details (as it will be sold as a Buick overseas) such as inner door frame covers or high quality leather seats with cheap accents (hard plastics, glovebox and armrest compartment devoid of lining...) The 3-door/coupé will be quite spectacular I guess.

Very nice review. Comfortable tempo, crucial information and practical focus areas. Very ample and good information with balanced criticism of the car as whole. I've read that Opel has been really struggling with a decreasing sales numbers so they wanted to improve their new models and step things up quality wise. Don't know if they have achieved that as I've never owned a Opel before. I'm constantly comparing compact cars with the Golf or the Audi 3. Would be nice if you could make a review comparison or at least include some thoughts on those models in your summary. Thanks.

+ventende I would love to offer comparisons, but overall we are a two guy crew and cannot do this. Opel is selling better in better in Germany with the small cars - the Adam and the Karl. With the new Astra they want to get back with power to the compact market as well.

Very informative video. I do have a suggestion, however. forty eight minutes is quite long. While I do know there are people who want to know every little detail and would be quite happy to sit for that long, I also would suspect there are people who would appreciate a shorter edit of the same video - maybe twenty minutes or less? So, my suggestion is to maybe have two videos per car - one full length and one shorter for those with shorter attention spans :-)

I think this is one of the Best review I ever watch... :) only I have couple of question? 1.) What you think about 1.4 turbo petrol 125PS? and how quiet is this car on highway if you drive around 140 - 150Km/h? I see there is wind noise at 130Km/h.. but I guess they're not a problem.. I drive Focus mk2.5 2.0tdci and its noisy if I drive 100km/h :) and I hear wind noise at 110Km/h .. on 140Km/h is very noisy :( 2.) Can you maybe do same review for Renault Megane and Hyundai i30 on English... thnx 3.) for comfort and suspension .. if you maybe drive focus mk2.5, can you compare with this Astra K please? just to get a picture how hard suspension is on Astra... I have no problem with hard suspension, but if it is a bit softer than it is on focus, its great.. and does the 1.4 125 HP od 150 HP has the same suspension like this one with 200 HP? and just one note.. your link for Kia and Mazda 3 review not work ... you need to change it to www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO _ID

Nice, how is your experience with the car? I've been struggling to decide for the last 3 months between this and the Renault Megane GT and I'm still not sure. I like the Opel because it's less assisted than the Megane , I think you can actually turn off traction control + having a manual gearbox can add up to a more involving driving experience even if around town and in heavy traffic the auto is more comfortable. One thing I'm put off by is the 2 year warranty Opel offers in my country.

@b3rs 7 жыл бұрын

I had a spin in Megane G.T. and it was very nice. It has more gismos like HUD, automatic gear box and launch control. I didn't buy it because it's a Renault (it will depreciate like nuts) and it was too expensive (my Astra costed about 15% less than Megane). Later I've heard that some Talisman user had to have his automatic gearbox (which I've heard is the same as in Megane G.T.) replaced after less than 10k km. And he had to pay for it as service claimed it was his fault. You can limit the TC so it will react only when you really screw up. I am not perfectly happy with gear box as I am sometimes unable to put it to 1st gear. It happened 2 or 3 times so far. Also Start/Stop system let me down a few times as it didn't start the engine when I was trying to launch more rapidly than usual. Quite embarrassing but I think there is a way to modify the car so the S/S system is turned off by default. I got an extended warranty (2 extra years) for free as I had already owned an Opel car and had it registered on myOpel site. You can extend it even further as far as I know.
