@@miguelmelchior986 Being inside the Golf makes it far too obvious that VW are trying desperately to build it as budget-conscious as possible. It just feels too cheap. Hard-pack plastics absolutely everywhere, and they skimp on as many buttons as possible. And so many of the few buttons that do exist are capacitive, which just adds to the feeling that they don't want to afford putting in just a few extra actual buttons. The lack of backlighting on many of the "buttons" also feels ridiculously cheap. The Golf feels like a cry for help from Volkswagen saying "we want more money for less effort". The Astra on the other hand just feels like Opel put so much more money, effort and passion into it. That's just my opinion.

The plastic trim and edge around the trim and the screens look terrible and far cheaper than the golf. The Golf looks better imo. Given that the screen areas are the areas you will look at the most, Opel should have done better!. Also far too much black cheap plastic. In 2 - 3 years the it will look nasty with all the marks on the trim. VW interior quality has dipped this gen, but it's still better than Opel.

Long before GM pulled the plug on the Holden brand here, in Australia [sobs], we lost access to the Euro-built Astra, and we’re the poorer for it. Not perhaps at the pointy end of the quality stakes, but certainly a sturdy and reliable small car. This latest iteration appears to be a cracker.

Here in Brazil we also lost access to the Opel cars around the middle of the 2000 ( when GM was in financial trouble if I am not mistaken). Before that the Opel cars were really popular ( Vectra, Opel Omega, Zafira, Meriva and Corsa). One interesting fact: in the 2000 GM decided to import the aussie Holden Commodoro to replace the Opel Omega. It had quite a success here in Brazil as well.

As a UK resident I wish the Vauxhall brand could be ditched in favour of Opel. Vauxhall has never been a 'sexy' brand and does not really have a good reputation so I don't understand why the company sticks with it here in the UK. It has 'tradition' but that is not a good enough reason. And believe me, if the car was marketed here as more German and less British, reputation and sales would increase!!!

What does Opel mean to most British consumers? Vaguely remembered mantas and senators. Most Vauxhall customers will turn to Kia and Hyundai as I doubt if they will change loyalties to Opel.

Great review video! The glass PurePanelPro looks like the one to get. The base trim looks too cheap-looking. I hope they reinforce the headrests by the time it arrives. Any comment on the rear legroom in comparison with the previous generation Astra? I thought the new Astra has a slightly longer wheelbase, which suggests the rear legroom should improve, even if by a negligible amount. Also, how would you say is the ride quality in normal city driving when comparing with a more premium model such as the BMW 1 Series hatch which has the multi-link rear suspension?

Great review as always. Actually I daily drive a Golf 8 (very satisfied btw), but I must admit that I really like the exterior looks of the Opel. The interior concept is surprisingly similar, fresh and modern, but again, from what I have seen on the video, the ergonomics are maybe a little bit better in the Astra? I am less convinced by the digital instruments though, in my Golf I like the setup combining the classical look of the instruments with plenty additional information of my choice, here the customisation seems a little more limited. Finally there is an issue with the engines availability in the Astra, the gap between the small 130 petrol and the expensive hybrid 180 seems excessive to me, especially since my Golf is a 150 etsi mild hybrid and is proving itself as a wonderful compromise between impressive performance for this power range and great fuel economy.

The summary is that there is not a single such serious error that you can not accept it and live with it. There are 9 details that are less good but none of these are absolutely crucial and it is compensated by lots of good things and technology. Golf, however, has two such serious flaws, very poor space for the feet in the front seat and useless instrumentation and controls, then there are other bad ones as well, but they are more emotion and impression. All the negative comments come from people who know nothing at all about this car and only guess based on a first - uninterested - impression - that is not much to come up with...

Thomas why didn't you test the rear passenger space of the Sport Tourer? Theoretically it has almost 6cm longer wheelbase than the hatchback. So it is possible those extra points will go for the rear passenger comfort but the new 308 sw gave all the extra wheelbase for boot space. Can you tell us what Opel did in the same situation?...

Golf 7.5 highline driver here. I agree Thomas. no matter how hard I try to like the new 8 I don't like it 1 bit or I would have to look at a very very expensive/overpriced GTI or R. If something happened to my car I don't think I will go for the current MK8. A strange question maybe, but why do they never cover up the body colour on the inside of the doorframe which you see if you are in the interior? You know next to the B pilar of the car. Why don't they make it black or try to match it with the rest of the parts?

My takes: - Thomas came built with facial harmonization as standard lol (brazilians will get this) - designwise I think this new Astra looks better than the Golf - that manual shift looks smooth as butter - the back lights are so "Golfesque" - I see Peugeot/Citroen at the door knob, key and the turning/wiper knobs... - I feel like both Golf and Astra have downgraded the quality of the interior. Maybe it is just my perception, but this boxy black shape is not that attractive. - a huge thumbs up for keeping the manual temperature control instead of that touch control gibberish in the current VWse - that black piano surrounding the dashboard will get so many fingerprints... - the secret chamber looks cheap as f... - they should have put one USB-C and one USB-A outlet

I would choose not the Astra , nor the Golf, but Seat all the way. Better price than the Golf and design , better quality and design than the Astra.

finally, vauxhall/opel design team smash it first time in a new-gen. i''ve always been put off for some design reasons whenever i consider an astra but this is looking really good. shame about the outer seals being that cheap black/greyish shit, i'm sure a small expense getting them glossed would make them look much better

I am not feeling the newest Astra. I feel it was mistake for Opel to join PSA group in with the french. For me personally the best generation so far with Opel Astra is Astra J that was made from 2009 to 2015. The most awesome and gorgerous looking one is still Opel Astra OPC from said generation and it looks more beautiful and sleeker than current gen...

The emblem which opens The trunk / boot is invented by Opel - not VW... Opel has had four different variants for opening the trunk connected to the emblem, Omega 1994 where Opel invents the whole idea for the first time, Astra 2010, Corsa 2014, Insigna 2017 and now Astra again in the fifth variant, Opel was before VW with the emblem in the middle on the trunk and that a lift in or press on the emblem opens. VW makes its own version in Golf 2004, 10 years after Omega, or shown first in Volkswagen D Concept 1999, but it is obvious that it is Opel that invents the solution and not VW that just copies it, the variant that sits on the Astra is more from the Insignia 2017 and differs from how it looks on the Golf. The black triangle behind the back door is not from Kadett but from Rekord 1978, if you look at the design and compare, the difference is clear. The material in the gray cover is compensated by the fact that real aluminum is used in large quantities, it should be noted - And by the way... I think the gray color breaks very nicely against the shiny black. The blind spot warning is radar based in the Intelli-Drive 1.0 available in Astra Elegance at the low price of 550 € which detects cars at a distance of 65 meters, that technology is taken from Insignia. And in other films where the distance is visible to the car behind, I experience in any case that the distance is one or ? two car lengths behind, while the old PSA technology lit the warning first at the same level as the bumper, it may be a wrong... experience, but it looks like that.

@@autogefuehl Yes they say that, but that's just because everyone else has said it and the marketing does not want to say against this opinion so as not to become unpopular... people do not like to hear that they are wrong... so Opel is fully aware of the lie caused by PR reasons. For some reason they want to connect it with Kadett but not with Rekord. But the design is Rekord and not even Opel can change that... no matter what they say...
