​@@alundavies5171 You can't go wrong with that sort of mpg especially with fuel prices shooting up. Its definitely a step in the right direction for Vauxhall. It would be good to see how the New Astra fairs...

Love mine

My sons just bought one so I will come back later and give an opinion, it’s his first car after passing his test so not a bad first car.

@@debsvii506 My son bought the 2020 ultimate nav edition which is a 1.2 turbo automatic, I drove the car back to Northumberland after picking it up from the dealers in Leeds and I was very impressed. Bigger than I thought which was a surprise and it’s very well equipped and drives nicely and in my opinion looks good with the two tone colour scheme. It’s quick enough for a new driver and fuel economy wise I will come back on at some stage, a grunty engine which again was a nice surprise, I believe this model has blind spot warning on the wing mirrors however it’s not working and the dealer has yet to come back to us, not sure if this can be manually switched off or if it’s a fault or perhaps this model has not got it but it has everything else and some.

@@richwatson5665 this was really helpful to know!! God bless you, thank you.

Had a couple of times as a hire car. The rear view mirror is too low, blocking the view when turning left.

Why does my hire car paperwork say I’ve a 1.2L turbo elite when it’s a pig engine and only 5 gears? What car have I got and how have they made this mistake???

Does this 3 cylinder engine suffer wet timing belt problems like the ford fiesta does I.e snapping.

Is there one detail in the interior which is not cheap, then it is the upper part of the instrument panel... very strange opinion...

I have the diseil 1.5 L car ok but after care and warranty naff , will sservice myself after the warranty is out which is about now oh good luck finding the oil filter car needs jacking up as its under neath the picking engine.

I have had 2 of the 1.2 Sri turbos. My first one and had to go back after a year as it had a paint issue. I got a new one and it somehow it feels quicker. it's really nippy. the both surprised me how quick they are off the mark. also the second engine has a whine to it with less grunt but the first had a loader grunt and no whine. Also the second one drinks fuel like no one's business. wondering if they changed something.

@@ISITWORTHITUK Well the first was a white Sri premium. It had keyless entry push button start with electric hand break heated seats & steering wheel. It started to rust for a strange reason only 8 months into owning it. The second is a white Sri edition. Its a Key entry and turn key ignition. Manual hand break with heated seats and steering wheel. It honestly sounds totally different. The turbo whines but the engine is pretty quiet. The exhaust is smaller than my first. My wife has the Sri premium in orange and it also sounds more grunty but no whine. The exhaust is bigger on hers.

i have this model 69 reg in the red & black paintwork... tailgate holds water somehow and drips out of little hole at bottom of tailgate when you open boot so handy if you wanna wash your hair on the go 🙄 i also had a recall with something to do with indicators... the electrics in my car were horrendous.. just had vauxhall put in a new coil pack & plugs at a cost of £652.81 😮 they should be wearing masks and striped jumpers as their uniform... this car will be heading to WBAC very very soon

My first thought as well but the Clio is actually bigger

so I have this exact same model elite before they slim their trims down. picked it up in March this year and shockingly found two parts missing, Electric handbrake and keyless start. These were the two features that sold it for me in the first place. in its place i have a traditional key start and manual handbrake. Since there an arm rest there using the handbrake is not ideal plus does not have the metal trim like the rest of the car. I was informed it was a parts issue and they would NOT retro fit the car. So disappointed to say at least. Performance wise its slower than my previous 1.4 Corsa from 2017. It feels like a big car with a small engine, slower than my first car a kia Picanto which was a 1.1! I feel like I been cheated and let down by the sales guys. I had to take my car in for a service, I was given a courtesy car which is the trim down from mine. I found an electric handbrake present and led brake lights. you would think as you go up the trim levels that you would retain all the features from the lower models. Either way Once my lease is up I will not be going back to Vauxhall.

@@ISITWORTHITUK I've just had my engine replaced on my Astra k 1.2 turbo 145 bhp. Wet engines are not the way to go as the Ford ecoboost class action and subsequent recall in America are telling us. Any rubber belt submerged in hot oil will break down rapidly.

Well, we have them as pool cars at work. Awful cars, bad ride quality - crashes over the slightest bump, cabin ergonomics are very uncomfortable and its got a really cheap feel to it. You have to bend your body to get out of the back doors too, bit of a joke. You would have to know nothing about cars to consider buying this.
