Vauxhall Astra Hatchback (2015 - 2021) 1.6T 16V (200bhp) SRi 5d Owner Review

Window seals are poor. No heated windscreen. Otherwise a very solid, comfortable and capable drive. It offers lots of room in the cockpit, I am 6'3" tall and I need to put the driver's seat forward. The rear seating is comfy and adequate. The satnav isn't brilliant so I use my TomTom. I have owned several Vauxhall's and I feel they ay excellent value for money. The servicing costs at my local garage come in under £100. I haven't needed to change any tyres yet as they have plenty of tread left. The performance activation bottom is excellent. It tightens up the suspension and makes the acceleration extra keen. This is very useful when overtaking slow traffic when going uphill. By pressing the button again the car relaxes and takes you along in comfort. The noise in the cockpit is minimal. You feel that you are sat in a well made car. In the boot you can comfortably carry a months shopping Of late I have been transporting an infirm relative around. I have put a wheelchair, cushion, coats, blankets and several other accessories in the boot with ease. I have often bought lengths of timber upto three metres long and these have fit in the car saloon comfortably.
