Used Car Review: Vauxhall Astra
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
The Vauxhall Astra might not have the most glamorous reputation, but it has always offered excellent value for money whether you're buying new or used. In this CarGurus review Chris Knapman explains why the seventh-generation Astra deserves your attention, not only because it represents such good value, but also for being an excellent car in its own right.

Pros
Lots of equipment as standard
Fuel-sipping diesel engines
Low resale values make the Astra good value as a used car
Cons
Not as sharp to drive as a Ford Focus
A Skoda Scala has more boot space

The CarGurus verdict
The Vauxhall Astra is by no means a bad car. It has lots of equipment, it’s practical, inoffensive to drive, and the option of the Sports Tourer is great for those who need to haul more luggage around. Get one in a good spec, and with a mid-range engine, and it should prove pleasant to live with.
Rivals, such as the Ford Focus, are better to drive and more refined. A Kia Ceed has a far better warranty, a VW Golf is better quality, and a Skoda Scala has more boot space. All told, the competition often just serves up a more compelling overall package than that offered by the Vauxhall.
That said, there’s still merit in considering a used Astra. Because of their depreciation and lack of badge appeal, used Astras often cost considerably less than their competitors. This affordability, coupled with good equipment levels and sensible running costs, can make them a tempting option.

god this low level boot thing is a joke if i cant pick up a object above the boot level then its basically to heavy to lift in the first place and if you want to carry any larger objects for diy then get bloody van its a car and 99% of the time there is nothing in the boot anyway when reviewing a second hand car i would like to know how much repairs have cost if any is it still good to drive no knocks or creaks is the interior looking good and details like that
What is this guy on about?! The steering is oddly springy?? If that was a focus he'd say it was agile and darty.
200bhp 1.6 turbo still a joy to drive outdrags most on motorway runs
Will you drive it?

@@dado380 The sound system is average. Nothing special.
so apart from the vague steering ,dodgy paint finish,glitchy safety systems,and lights that go off as and when they want . it's a good car lol!
Red makes it look cheap. Looks much better in cosmic grey or blue.
The 1.6 cdti is the worst engine ever made...
Absolutely cheaply made scratches dents Coca-Cola can is more stronger and the engines are very weak be careful 1400 turbo they are too strong for this engines always any turbo engine when we buy second-hand like me we are asking for trouble if we can't afford brand new ones and then give it back after 3 years and let someone else suffer with it

Turbo is over clocking like a string burning from both ends. Will shorten engine life. 😂
