    Good Points: What a fantastic car!
    Drop-dead gorgeous styling
    Solidly built inside and out
    Great styling
    Quiet, spacious cabin - very little road noise
    Superb looking car
    Quick, revvy 1.8 engine
    Even with 18" alloys and very low tyres - road bumps are not an issue and the ride is superb.
    Buy it on looks alone - you will not be disappointed


    Bad Points: The rear view is quite bad, about the same as a Ford Puma - but if you want a fantastic looking hatch, it's worth the sacrifice - Also the rest of the car makes up for this and it personally doesn't bother me as for 95% of the time you're going forwards :)


    General comments: I brought the 1.8SRi 3 door in Metallic Star Silver with Exterior Pack, Technical Pack (Cruise Control and Climate Control) and Keyless Entry. I didn't even bother to test drive one since I just fell in love with its looks - it is by far the best looking and stylish hatch ever made. My last car was a Ford Focus ST170 2.0 and the Astra is much better. It feels very solid, the interior is well made, solid and practical. The seats are quite rigid (sports styling) but are comfy unless you have a larger backside (maybe Big Johns problem ;). The cabin is very quiet at all speeds. The Keyless Entry is great - just keep the electronic fob in your pocket and when you pull the door handle, the car unlocks - once inside, dip the clutch or press the brake pedal and then just press the Start/Stop button. When you stop, just press the Start/Stop button and get out - to lock the car all you have to do is touch the door handle with your finger (twice to activate deadlocks) - This is a brilliant feature. I personally think the boot space is fine and very large for a hatchback.

    Mine is the Vauxhall 'New' Astra Sport GTCi (looks like the photo above).
    The worst thing is that it's uncomfortable - no matter what combination of settings and adjustments I try, it gives me neck ache in 10 minutes and back ache in twenty. No matter where I sit I feel I am at the bottom of a box. I have to physically move in my seat to check if traffic is coming (window post on one side, mirror on the other - right in the way)!! I guess if you are shorter than 5foot you can sit really close ...

    Had this 5 months now and very pleased. Huge discount available from www.buyacar.co.uk this car was cheaper from these people delivered to my door than a used Astra with 6000 miles from the dealer locally. Yup, I went for the new one of course. It was £700 cheaper including vat and delivery and I got it delivered three weeks quicker than the local dealer also!

    The 'New' Vauxhall Astra is an excellent car full of features, The handling is superb and the petrol consumption is average.
