Enterprise, Hertz ,company fleet etc are the reason for the amount on the road but that's no bad thing because after 1 year they enter the used car market and become a bit of a bargain.

Sometimes it feels like Mark is choosing intentionally boring subject matter just so he has the challenge of making it brilliantly entertaining. He has never failed yet. Cheers Mark

I think Vauxhall get a really unfair grilling by most journalists, it's nice to see you didn't complain about the 'cheap feeling' rear view mirror unlike some plastic drinks bottle obsessed reviewers.

Because Vauxhall make very boring, cut price cars with no passion at all. Things are changing though

@@oliverstemp9132 GM has always been Vauxhall's problem, as soon as they were free of them they were in profit almost straight away. They did produce some pretty good cars, the last Astra VXR had some pretty clever front suspension to counter torque steer. I also think the last two generations of Vauxhall haven't been half as boring as people make them out to be.

@@oliverstemp9132 I think it looks great, it'll be interesting to see what the next Astra looks like. I'm really not a fan of most of the mainstream hatches currently, I think the new Golf looks awful.

Only seems 5 mins ago this shape . Fair review well presented il watch this channel again.

I've had my Astra since new 2018. I love it. Does the job I want it to. Why buy this instead of a Focus? BECAUSE it was £7000 cheaper!!!! Add a golf to that as well.

Bought the 2020 sports tourer model full specked.. 2 months ago.. -13000 euro out of the list price..

Totally agree with the recommendation of the spec. I have a SRI and it doesn't have led headlamps and the normal halogen ones feel like you have some candles instead of light bulbs

LED lights are great, until you have to replace them! Just for a laugh it costs nearly £900 to replace the VW Polo LED headlamp because the led has broken! Cost of a halogen bulb -- £5.00

@@TL-xw6fh yes, I agree. BUT, the cost of halogen bulb £5, the cost of you or your family getting injured due to an accident caused because of poor visibility: priceless.

Deal.

The astra. Like choosing a glass of tap water in a shop full of fancy bottled water. You won't die of thirst,but you will be existing rather than living.

The joy of your reviews is your compendium lavished on your chosen ( Vanarama's stock levels of affordable transport boxes on wheels) but even with your talents I started to fall asleep at 50% through. Hopefully Vanarama will allow you out a bit to find something interesting to review.

I had to put "reverse cinderella" in my incognito mode search...

Bet Lynch called.. she wants her shirt back. Would you go for the 1.4? or 1.2?

I own an 18 plate Astra and I can totally certify the elbow lock

Cant beat the value of an astra on the second hand market. It is unrivalled and in a league of it's own.

Thanks for making me feel better about my Golf SEEEEE

How long is a tiny cylinder really going to last in a car like that

Invoicing you for a new MacBook Mark - thanks to spitting my tea out quite literally that the Liberty X ref. Amazing

Had my happy ending - thx.

The Astra is a decent car, it seems to be of high quality

The Astra is an underrated nice-looking daily driver...the next one will be a Peugeot...

Vauxhall's for me have always been reliable workhorse's. They've never let me down. Exciting to drive and look sexy. No.

Doesn’t really matter, unless your a motoring journalist

Luv the curves on the Astra…Innovation

Funny how the silhouette of the disguised new ‘Astra’ ressembles almost exactly the new 308’s. So Opel don’t design cars anymore. And Vauxhall now build Peugeots instead of Opels... It’s got to be big VAG for me over this even though as rental vehicles Vauxhalls are perfectly inoffensive.

The new Corsa looks very similar to the 208 too. At least Stellantis out in more effort than the VW Group in design

22 missed calls? Who are you ghosting? Hehe

The Golf interior really is shite unless you get a high trim level so struggle to agree. A really nice golf is a timeless classic that fits in literally anywhere. But most are a low trim level and are actually shite on the inside. Scratchy plastics and a tiny screen which really dates it. The average 2019 astra is better than the average 2019 Golf. The best Golf is much better but I'm not sure that matters.

Oi First !

Vauxhall now make the most depressing, dull cars now. The kind of cars that people who hate cars drive. VXRs have gone, all that’s left is a pile of nothing and blandness. Why anyone would by and Astra over a focus, or a corsa over a fiesta is beyond me. Horrible cars. The Astra can’t be compared to a Golf.
