Vauxhall Astra Hatchback (2015 - 2021) Tech Line Nav 1.4i Turbo (125PS) 5d Owner Review

Good points-- good blend of economy and performance. Modern style with lots of tech. Quiet and refined on smooth surfaces. Reliable ( so far) practical with decent boot space, especially with seats folded down. Smooth ,stable handling. Bad points -- most uncomfortable drivers seat I've ever had in 40 years driving .the lumbar support feels like an iron bar jammed in your back. Lots of tyre noise over rough surfaces, and plenty of squeaks from the hard plastics inside .if you floor the throttle in too high a gear the turbo/ fuel system starts complaining, causing you to change down.the steering is the usual modern combination of easy parking but imprecise on motorways ,meaning you have to make small corrections constantly.
