SummaryAverage. The Astra is a good all-rounder but fails to excel at any one level. Wide range of models and strong re-sale values make it a popular choice. |
ReviewReplaced at the end of 2003, Vauxhall's family car continues to sell well, thanks to a strong secondhand market and plenty of space in hatchback, saloon and estate models. It is let down by bland styling, although the interior feels solid and well built. Enthusiastic drivers will find the Astra surprisingly good fun and the seats are excellent. If you want a better image, opt for the sleek Coupe - the SRi Turbo is very quick but suffers from a lumpy gearbox. There's a decent cabriolet as well.
