Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Bought the car 2 years ago and depreciation is not as bad as I thought it would be.
Costs
Excellent. Sailed through 2 MOT's with very little work done to it. Although rear handbrake mechanisms have a habit of sticking. Costly on fuel for motorway driving.

Driving
Done a good job re-designing the Astra. Much more solid than previous models.
Performance
Is a nippy car, will get you out of sticky situations if need be.

Living with it
Reliability
Excellent. Had no problems at all.
Image
Fairly standard with charcoal plastic on bumpers, sills and wing mirrors. However looks good clean and polished.
Comfort
Driving position is good with height adjustable seat. Back seats are awkward to get out of though.
