Vauxhall Astra Hatchback (2004 - 2010) 1.6i 16V SXi (115ps) 5d (2010/10) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Bargain hunter!

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Nice car.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes wouldn't hesitate, my second Astra and so far no issues, the last one had done over 20k miles with no issues either. Can't ask for better than that.

What are you likely to buy next?

No idea as they don't make this model any more and i'm not too keen on the latest shape.... maybe a MOKKA when they have been out a year or two.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£7,999

When did you buy the car?

March 2012

Did you get a good deal and why?

£7,999 with metallic paint and delivery mileage. What else can you buy for this money that is effectively brand new with 5 doors, metallic paint, A/C, alloys, sporty (ish) interior and a 1.6 engine???

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Delivery mileage and the spec I wanted. My second Astra loved the previous 1.6 Design so thought i'd buy another.... So far, so good :o).

What was the dealer like?

Amazing! very friendly and helpful, phoned me after having the car for a week to check everything was OK, no hassle, just great service :o).

What's it like to drive?

Great! quite fun, not the sportiest but very comfortable and easy to drive.

What's it like to park?

Easy.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nope

What's most practical about your car?

For me it does everything I need, 5 doors, carries 5 adults no problem, reasonable boot space.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Parking sensors....
