Bad Points
ABS as standard would have been good! Also looks a bit 'frumpy'.
General Comments
The Vauxhall astra estate is spacious for a 'compact', good luggage space, well equipped for a nine-year-old car. Comfortable on long trips, equally adept at pottering around town.
A really good all-rounder. No single aspect of this car is a class leader, but as an overall package it's hard to beat. If you want chic and funky forget it, if it's reliable practicality you're after this is well worth a look.

I hadn't even thought to check about ABS! - you do just expect things like that to be standard. I had difficulty choosing between and Astra and Vectra. After reading these reviews, Astra has got to be the car for me.
