Vauxhall Astra Hatchback (1998-2005) boot space, practicality and safety
Looking for a different model?
(change model)
Early cars were fitted with a driver’s airbag and optional passenger/sidebags; dual airbags was standard from 1999; all have side impact bars, seatbelt pre-tensioners and a four star Euro NCAP crash-test rating. Security is average: all models have an immobiliser and unique-fit stereo; more expensive models have alarms.
Boot is massive and easy to load. Interior space could be better – CD multichangers are mounted in glove box – easy to use but takes valuable space.
