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.

Picked my one up today the one up from gs line ultimate model u get so much more bigger alloys then the gs line and sunroof. It's a really nice car

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

[mikeowen]

Long waiting list and from your positive review maybe that's the reason why great looking motor

[carshistoryclassics]

I would certainly take this over its rivals. Best looking car in it's class in my opinion. Great review 👍😊

[magentass]

Do they not all come with assist parking? I read they do? Any info would be appreciated

[TheAllyMor]

Where are these empty roads where I can enjoy all this great performance!? 🤔😁

£28, 000 for a Astra is ridiculous in 2017 the starting price was 17k

It's a good looking car, and I will have to compare it with others. With this crisis, it might be the best option.

[sevesellors]

Great review and a nice car you get more than the golf but how does it compare to the 308?

[DarkVoidDan]

I've just bought one all in black looks so nice.

[MG-Hybrid]

Better bumper protection..front and back than the Peugeot 308 and adaptive matrix headlights standard on GS trim. Not bad plus i think the Vulcan Grey looks well on this model.

[Mariazellerbahn]

When they do a GTC version I'll be interested.
But until then .... it can jog on.

[ruxod]

I ordered a gs line in black April 2022 been told I get it in 3 weeks

[mpgjbuq]

Got my st gs a week ago and it's brilliant, loads stuff, growls when accelerating

[felixwong]

Good build quality, no rattling.... for a new car? come on! isn't that it should be for any new car? what are you talking about.

I have a black 2023 asyra ultimate diesel ..looks the bolloks and the toys on it are unreal . But i do find that the ride is very stiff and bumpy even when tou hit the cats eyes on motorway they echo thru the car like ita a pothole ..every bump i feel ..i took it to get it checked incase the transport blocks were left in the suspension but they said its meant to be a bumpy ride as it has sports suspension and 18 inch alloys 🤔any thoughts on this guys ..seriously i feel like every single little niggle in the road

Is this a Peugeot under the skin? Engine /switches /drivetrain?

[aciddiver]

Nice car 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.

I'm a vauxhall guy and nah ill never buy a newer one then my 68 plate corsa vxr, the badge is dead to me
