Astra GTC Review - An adventurous Daily?

I head off to the lake district and test out the 180bhp Astra GTC 1.6L Turbo.

Campsites:

Owner of a 1.4 turbo (petrol) for the last 2/3 years. Stage 1 remap, RamAir induction kit and backbox delete- currently around 190bhp. The second gear pull never fails to put a smile on my face. Such an amazing car honestly. Head turner to this day, and has been reliable. Only issue I’ve have was coolant housing breaking on me but that was a £50 fix (new coolant housing) and that occurred in the winter, a very common Vauxhall problem. Would 10/10 recommend this car if you’re in the market for one… I’m planning on upgrading to a GTC VXR in the future hopefully!

Great vid for potential Astra GTC owners and nice to see you back on your YouTube channel mate 👍🏼

I was taking a look at Astra H GTC earlier this year, but instead of that I stumbled upon Astra J GTC 1.7 CDTI, Isuzu engine one. And so far, so good. Car still looks amazing today, and I get so many questions about it, since there's not too many of them around here. Mine also has full leather interior, Xenon headlights, heated seats and all of that.

I have one myself, love the car to bits. Such a great drive, tight suspension, I’ve a 1.6 turbo all I’d ever say about the thing is the mpg could be better 😂

Have a 1.4t high miler and still drives like new, no rattles or squeaks, fabulous cars, great to drive, and very cheap on fuel and maintenance.

Also have an astra gtc 1.6 turbo and i love the thing. I do all sorts of journeys in it around the country and even used it to move house. I find its fantastic at long journeys and it never misses a beat

Nice video! I own this car and am one of those odd types that likes watching other talk about their own car haha just to compare notes
2.0 diesel in mine, though I've always fancied shot in the 1.6 petrol
Never had any major issues with mine either. BMW's I've had and a Jeep directly before this were nightmares but this has been great for the last few years

One note: the boot is 380 litres. Very usable too, it'll be taking me and my lady to the lakes this coming weekend for a splash around

Great video! I’m getting the ASTRA GTC 1.7L eco 💪🏾

Had a 2ltr GTC CDTi Bi Turbo, nice car, decent performance and economy (or so i thought). Sold it and purchased a Leon FR Tdi 184, no competition, the Leon was better at pretty much everything and the engine, despite being 11bhp down was far punchier and less strained. Not knocking the GTC, more of a reflection of how good the Leon FR was

[jacoblee]

welcome back! missed your content and I'm guessing you sold the XKRS?

[mustafasezer]

I’m looking to buy Astra gtc but not sure if it’s a good car or not, I asked a gtc owner and he just said “if you look after it, it looks after you”, is it a good car?

[joeramzy]

Hi there mate, what alloys are they? I love the look of them and the colour is perfect with the red calipers

[RioT.]

Did you have the alloys painted that colour and if so what colour is that called?

[richroadin]

The gtc is on my list of cars but a auto XC70 215 well serviced 200k it maybe MAPPED over that swolled boxters and literally on the back end of some high end Stuff don't always ragit but when dudes pull up at side reving saying hi grandad maybe it's colour of it but only if it is safe to do deed of embarrassment I may dip the right leg very very short matter of maximum speed limit arrived 🚀😇. I have driven a great Tvr like your spider face they're different kind of animal look after bushing and suspension with care keep it well serviced smiles for ever

[waynemartin]

[qasimayub]
