Vauxhall Astra Hatchback (2015 - 2021) 1.6 CDTi 16V ecoFLEX SRi (Start Stop) 5d Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
In their own words
I've always liked Vauxhall motors are they generally are cheap to run whilst providing comfort and power but this model is very expensive to run by comparison to all my previous Vauxhalls.
It's a very comfortable car to drive and has good power when needed. The touchscreen is not easy to use while the car is moving on a road that is not smooth. Some minor electrical issues have popped up recently such as the forward collision alert activating even when there are no cars infront of me and the tyre pressure alert comes on now and then even although all tyres and pressures are good. These issues are on a carefully driven 1 year old car with 11,000 miles.
I would not recommend this car and will not have another one.
Does the car do everything you expected it to do?
I bought the car based on Vauxhall's mileage figures. I guessed they might be close as previous Vauxhalls have always been economical to run but even although I drive very economically compared to most people, I can only get 50mpg and perhaps 52 on a journey which is rubbish. Comfort, space, road handling and power are all good but overall this car is going to be my most expensive to run in a long time. A 320D BMW proved much cheaper to run.About their car
