We have now owned the car for over 4 weeks and used it for a long drive to Suffolk over 4 days covering some 500 miles. Overall the car is lovely, and a pleasure to drive or to be a passenger in. Of course it has it's faults so here are the pros and cons:- The Pros. Extremely quiet and refined with lots of power from the engine. When Sport is activated it becomes eager and raring to go, ideal for cross country runs. Comfortable seats and some useful electronics. Erratic parking sensors on our car, but I suspect they were added as an aftermarket by the first owner, which may explain why, but they work well enough when on. The Cons. The buttons to lock and unlock all doors are badly placed out of reach of the passenger. When we stop at the motorway services and I go to the conveniences, my wife always locks herself in, just in case. Now she finds it difficult to reach the buttons, as in our previous Astra they were in the middle of the instrument panel. The electronics that control the lane keep assist are strange, in that when in the middle lane of a motorway, it actively resists returning to the left hand lane, which is disconcerting. The front grille seems rather fragile as three of the bars were broken by a bird when the car was stationary. I have applied superglue as a temporary fix.

Already had a vauxhall Astra before and I'm very pleased with this new version. The car is easy to drive and very comfortable.

Smashing little car! Easily seats 5, decent-sized boot, superb headlights Intellilux, very flexible engine and extremely quick when you want it to be, nice handling, smooth ride, no wind noise and little road noise except on rough surfaces. OnStar, wi-fi, etc very useful. As good as a Golf GTi but much cheaper.
Comment:
Very comfortable seats. The auto lights and parking sensors are useful. It drives well. The auto gearbox is smooth. Very pleased with this Astra Elite. Low road tax too.
Comment:
The Astra is a very nice car indeed. Good performance and economical so far. Good sized boot and rear seat space and very well equipped too.

After 14 years with the previous car, thought it was time for a change. Knowing several friends/relations who liked Vauxhalls, thought I'd go for an Astra. Although I knew the car's interior would be more compact than I was used to, I am very glad I made the decision to purchase the Astra 1.6i Auto Elite. Three year old model in excellent condition - I must say I am impressed as to how smooth the ride is. The boot has 30% less room than my old Avensis, but still offers quite a lot of space for up to 2/3 driver and passenger's luggage.

After approx 1600 miles I am enjoying driving the Astra. Road holding good even in the recent icy conditions, heated seat a boon with the cold mornings, and demists quite quickly. Sounds noisy from the outside, but quiet when inside. Only real negatives are fuel consumption; nothing near the manufacturers' claims, and inflation kit instead of spare wheel. Although 90 percent decided on car before test drive/inspection; car has everything I was looking for. I considered the price I paid was a fair one for a low mileage Astra Elite.
Comment:
New Astra 1.4 - excellent drive. Seats comfortable. Plenty of leg room in the back. Boot excellent for shopping. Sensors very helpful back and front.
Comment:
I absolutely love this car! From the moment I saw it, driving it. The comfort and easy access gadgets and gizmos. The only disappointment is that it does not have Bluetooth but I believe that is an extra if you want it.
Comment:
I've always loved to have a Vauxhall car and when the opportunity came I did not hesitate on my choice of car. It's lovely and am enjoying every minute of it.
Comment:
Good to drive, especially in speed. Not as comfortable as the previous Astra in terms of overall journey. Great visibility over the old model... Old Astra felt more solid... but new model is more satisfying in every aspect.
Comment:
My Astra Griffin is everything I wanted it to be with many many features included in the basic price. The reviews in the press were very good and the car is living up to those reviews.
Comment:
It's missing a few bits - folding wing mirrors, parking sensors, no ash tray - for a car of this calibre I think these should be standard. Other than that, I am very pleased with the car. Thanks.
Comment:
Having only driven the car for 10 days, I am still getting used to its handling but generally I am very pleased with it. I have just one minor criticism in that the view out of both passenger windows is somewhat restricted for the driver looking over his shoulder.
Comment:
Always wanted the Astra estate, and this drives as I always thought it would. This is the 3rd new car from you, and by far the most satisfying to drive, although there was nothing wrong with the others. Very happy with the service given, thank you.
Comment:
This is my second Astra and the drive and comfort is second to none.
Comment:
I am enjoying it very much!
Comment:
Astra Diesel Elite. The car is perfect for me, drives like a dream and great on fuel. Comfortable, reliable. First time using automatic. Never going back. Love it.
Comment:
Nice car, fast. Would be nicer with heated seats and steering wheel as I had them in my 16 plate Corsa. Nice and roomy. Petrol goes down a lot when driving on the motorway.
