Vauxhall's new Astra is brilliant - and for many more reasons than just those good looks. In GS petrol form it comes packing plenty, so much so that Sam reckons it might have the Volkswagen Golf beaten in several areas...

I had one of these as a courtesy car the last few days, really nice car. The build quality is a step above previous Vauxhalls, and the dash is a delight. The 1.2 engine sounded great and was pretty torquey, the 6 speed gearbox had a lovely action. Excellent car.

We agree! That engine is a reach peach :)

If you plan on leasing one ok but heard too much about these dodgy wet belts. If you plan on keeping one long term get that checked and changed and make sure its serviced by vauxhall (or peugeot)

I got a new astra this year to replace my 2019 golf, I hate the interior of the new golf and that's why I changed, the astra looks far better on the outside to in my opinion

Interesting to cross shop these. The allure which is line up equal to the gs line has no heated seats like the astra yet has an auto and a more stylish interior and in my eyes its the better looking car. Depends what you prefer. Astra def gives you more equipment esp with the ultimate

Nice car but..... i dont trust the 3 cylinders engines. They wear out faster, for example fords ecoboost, total destruction before 100.000km. And the diesel is not an option and the hybrid doesnt make sense economically.

@bensmithkent22 Ай бұрын

Yea def going to be issues further down the line. What ive read is these puretech “wet” belts are easier to get to than the ford ones. I guess if you stick to service intervals and main dealers it should be ok but lets be honest owners of astras wont do that after 3/4 years or so. These are throwaway cars. Nice cars too but i fear for them mechanically long term. Get a vag product newest shape leon over this small 4 pot turbos are their bread and butter.

All the merits for the people who created and made this car but for this amount of money you can have a brand new Prius with far better fuel economy and slightly more power or a electric MG or a Leaf and the fuel economy will be reflected in this price! I wouldn’t pay this much money for this one and definitely not with a manual gearbox!🤷‍♂️
