Summary

Recommended. Handsome family hatchback with good specification and a decent range of engines - just lacking in excitement.

Styling

The Astras handsome styling gives it plenty of road presence - especially in three-door "sportback" form.

Handling

Despite old-fashioned rear suspension, the Astra drives well - combining enthusiasm for twisty roads with excellent stability at motorway speeds. Numb-feeling steering is the only significant weakness.

Comfort

Ride quality is decent on all but the bigger wheeled versions - although the firmly sprung VXR threatens to shake fillings loose. Comfortable seats absorb longer journeys well.

Quality

Another tough Vauxhall, the Astra boasts a well-finished cabin and a decent amount of standard equipment on all but the most basic version.

Performance

All powerplants except the most basic 1.4 litre petrol provide decent performance, with the range topping 2.0 litre turbo petrol and 1.9 litre turbodiesels giving serious urge.

Roominess

Front seat space is decent, but taller occupants will find headroom in the back is limited. The hatchback has a decently sized boot while the estate benefits from a massive loadspace.

Costs

Long service intervals and low servicing costs mean the Astra makes plenty of financial sense. Basic versions are cheap to insure, while the diesels offer brilliant fuel economy.

Value

A CD player and electric front windows come as standard - but Vauxhall still charges extra for air conditioning until surprising high up the range. Steep depreciation means its worth holding out for a decent discount if buying new.

Stereo

Even the most basic stereo system gives decent sound quality, with various upgrades available. Satnav is less advanced than some rival systems.
