You know the Vauxhall Astra, right? Well here’s our review. It’s different to the other reviews you’ll see of it, which makes it worth watching even though it’s about an Astra.
Also, as we type this it’s Christmas time. We hope you have a great one!

I've got a 1.6 T turbo and for a mid range performance car, it flies. Power (200hp) is instantaneous from 2000 rpm. No other car in the class has this performance for the price. Go for the 1.6T manual if you want to have a fun and reliable everyday car.

@Biffa Bacon I test drove both. Astra is the better overall package in my opinion.

@mikekrg 6 жыл бұрын

Not only does he continuously compare the Astra to the overrated box called Golf but he also believes that iPhones are better than Android phones in a time when they are being destroyed by their rivals. That's just fake news.

No I don’t think iPhones are better. Watch the intro again, but pay attention this time. Love, Mark.

2 year personal lease for 1.6t 200bhp Elite Nav model. £1000 deposit £175 per month. To spec a similar Focus or Golf you’ll add at least another £100 to the monthly lease, and another £1000 on the deposit. As this is the way most people buy new cars these days I’d say the Astra is significantly cheaper to own than its main rivals.

@mikesherman757 5 жыл бұрын

Great deal! May ask which lease company you used?

@Ambienfinity 6 жыл бұрын

I'd definitely pay the extra for a Golf. But to be honest, I'd think about it and then buy a Jazz or a Civic. PS you are consistently funny and have great insight as a reviewer. More of the same in 2018 please!

@jezstokes8592 6 жыл бұрын

Enjoyed the review as always Mark. Getting an Astra 1.4 Turbo in the new year to replace an ageing Focus, will post first thoughts later. I’m still not convinced by Korean cars, the cost of parts and servicing on a Kia I previously owned was high and I believe it is still the same now..

@mikewestwood567 6 жыл бұрын

Astra has better tech with OnStar standard on most trims and Apple CarPlay standard on all. Both massive wins for this segment.

@danielsalsbury334 6 жыл бұрын

Just to let you know, per www.onstareurope.com/. both Vauxhall and Opel have been sold to Groupe PSA. So the French will take over service of the vehicles. Worse, OnStar service in Europe will end 31 December 2020. In less than 2 years, all the OnStar buttons, bells and whistles will be dead weight. If you currently have an OnStar subscription, cancel it now and avoid the rush....

@Grant.G.Simpson 5 жыл бұрын

Don't buy a Vauxhall for on star. It is being phased out. It is a GM product and Vauxhall are now owned by the French so no rights to use on star.

@peakie400 6 жыл бұрын

Vauxhall is part of the PSA Peugeot Citroen group, and OnStar is a General Motors creation, Vauxhall will be dropping OnStar from its model ranges from January 2019, and the system will switch off completely in 2020.

@leonisaacs9452 5 жыл бұрын

I've done 90k on my Astra - 1 rattle and it's from the top of the dash - disappears for a few months I know exactly where it is and can stop it just by touching that spot on the dash. There is nothing loose or aging about my Astra and its the 3rd in the family.

@livc444111 6 жыл бұрын

I like the looks of this car but probably would never buy it. I totally agree with the fact that brand new Astra's feel like they already have done 100 000 miles and from experience reliability isn't usually great. The i30 and the Pug 308 are more appealing.

I have a 15 gtc and was given one of these a 1.4t petrol, was ok, what wasn't was the handling. I thought they were going to use the GTC set up for the new 5 door. Stick the nicer be inside in a car that handles like the GTC and the Astra would be great.
