Regarding the battery in the boot floor. A lot of modern cars come with AGM batteries (best battery for start/stop cars), but AGM batteries don't like high heat so the manufacturer put it into the boot floor. It also help save space under the bonnet.

There's a positive and negative connection points under the bonnet to connect jump leads.

I'm a driving instructor and been running an Astra K for 2.5 years, putting on about 35k miles per year, brilliant car, super reliable.

Great video! My Astra K also has mindfulness mode. This is where the Navi 900 entertainment system doesn't work and you have to drive in silence. :)

And I thought I knew it all!
You got me on the ‘open door/high beams’ & the position of the battery.
Thanks for the video

The window thing is a life changer this summer!

Edward Norton's new project is totally left field. Such a versatile actor.

Very quick and specific video. And I must say, it's useful piece of advice for a new Astra K owner like me =)
Have a good day, peace

Also electric folding mirrors. Make sure the electric mirror selector is in the middle and press down.

Wow this is mad! I've had my K since March and this is great information. Particularly the lights as I work some late shifts and get back super late... or just any normal day in the UK for 8 months a year LOL

[davidphillips]

Many thanks for that information, I've just bought a 2019 astra sport two weeks ago and I have to admit I've only looked at the manual for tyre pressure, and for service intervals and to use the radio so it's handy to know these things 👍👍

Loved the remote windows feature on my corsa d, which my son now owns. For some reason they decided not to include this with the corsa e, I now have a 67 plate. Looking at this shape astra for my son, who now wants to upgrade, so happy this feature looks to still be available.

I have a 68 plate estate. A lot of the features you point out have been on earlier Astra models, the open/close windows on the key is a really old feature (I’ve had quite a few Vauxhall’s).

The best feature in the car is the touch screen.

Great video!

I have the 16 reg sri 1.4t tourer, I have to say it's a decent car tbh, I use it more as a van most of the time and it's amazing how much stuff you can get in it, I've had it 5 months but so far it's been a good reliable car and on tick over, can hardly hear it running.

[yiannisarmenakis]

Excellent video. I just bought a K and you have me introduced to some very useful features. Thank you!

[paulsikora]

great review JJ, i like the AGM battery in the boot, a nice spec 200 bhp elite 1.6 astra K.

[hantswalker]

Thanks for this. Very helpful. We collect our 1.6 Turbo 200bhp Tourer tomorrow.

[zanesmedia]

Could you please confirm if I can access the fuel sending unit under the rear seat in the 2016 Astra K 1.4 Turbo?

[bckdoorbnga]

No fancy rubbish straight to the point, but gutted I knew most of these for my Astra 😊

[bastih.]

Thx for this video. Please do that two years ownership report! As I bought an all new Astra K Facelift lately, I would be curious! Greetings from Germany.

[josipmatic]

I have also Astra K with more equepment and for seat belt I did know. Also is good to insulate back of car trunck and wheel arches from where come a lot of noise. If you have LED matrix light you must push fast light stick twice forward and automatic beams turn on (A light icon popup).

Was you parked at the odeon in preston near the docks
