About to start my lessons, so doing a wee car hunt in the meantime. I don’t understand anyone turning their nose up at this car. It looks the part and seems to give a lot for what it’s worth. I’m looking at a 2016 Astra and it looks like an incredible deal for what I’m getting. Vauxhall’s came a long way!

I used to have the previous generation 2013 Vxl Astra 2.0CDTI Sports Tourer SRI in Red.

Hired a sri diesel 2016, the chasis and grip is amazing, and the torque will make you think your driving something alot more powerful, really enjoyed it....only thing i will disagree is that back window and visibility are not great...and the stop start is anoying.....fuel consumption if you drive normal is good, but it will eat diesel rapidly when pushed.

Lovely car mine a year old excellent car

It has android auto as well right ?

this exact version of this car,i have done 671 miles the car is pretty nice but i dont like the traction control as it just seems to wheelspin too easily in the wet

The glove box is too small and there is little other storage on offer elsewhere. To get a bigger boot they’ve taken out any storage dividers so there’s no where to keep the Winter essentials of anti freeze/scraper/bottle of scotch without them forever rolling around. Doesn’t handle as well as the old model. Great engine though that does indeed work well on the motorway. I wouldn’t say it’s a whisper though. More a grumble.

Not aged well, these diesel engines are now self destructing . with chain guides breaking up, snapping oil pump chains if you're lucky ! if you are not think new engine as everything collides with each other as the main timing chain breaks loose . some failing at as little as 50,000 miles . Main dealers quote arm and a leg for new engine....

BE CAREFUL DONT BUY THE ASTRA 2016 onwards. Poor engine design which causing them to have weak pistons that can go at any point. Costing thousands to replace. Not sure if they’ve fixed this but my 66 plate 1.4 turbo elite has this issue now. They should have recalled all cars and replaced these with the stronger pistons they now have. Mines been fully serviced every 6 months and done less than 28k miles. I bought it used 9 months ago and because it’s 4 years old it’s out of manufacturers warranty. I’m stuck on what to do to be honest. Just thought I’d warn you all so you don’t get fucked over like me. Still waiting for Vauxhall to come back to me but not holding out any hope they will take responsibility.

Diesel or petrol?

​@@criticalthinker-vw2yy 1.4t so that's petrol. I think the diesel engines are pretty reliable

Just crap

Crap Astra

I guarantee that the unfortunate owners of these cars will be spending lots of time using the 'OnStar' service trying to establish why their shiny new pile of junk isn't working.

+Inside Lane Just the one, with that very engine. never returned anything better than mid 40mpg, even on extended runs and saw more time at the dealership than on my drive!

+Gentle Brother I believe that this is a new unit for this year. Whilst it is terrible that you have had trouble with a new car, this new generation of Vauxhalls represent a real step-up in quality. It would a bit unfair to generalise every Vauxhall on the basis of one experience.

+Inside Lane You're quite right. Best of luck to Vauxhall with this new model and to those who elect to drive one. Great review, as always.
