Vauxhall Astra Review

The new Vauxhall Astra has been a top seller in the UK for over 30 years. The Astra's new sleek, clean lines hide its height - good thing. Bad thing - it's as wide as a 4X4. The Vauxhall Astra remains spacious and comfortable with quality furniture.

You'll find the Vauxhall Astra for sale with a wide range of trims and engines options with a new 1.4T petrol engine. Economy and emissions are good across the range. The Astra is a dynamic drive.  It's a great car. It has to be. There's great competition out there which includes popular, premium and value brands for you to compare.

There's also a Vauxhall Astra Estate now called a Tourer. The Astra convertible is the Astra Twin Top with a folding roof. The high performance model is the Vauxhall Astra VXR. Vauxhall Astra Turbo sport models are highly sought after second hand.

The most desirable are the sort styled Vauxhall Astra SXi and the Vauxhall Astra SRi with more powerful engine options. The Astra 1.6 is the most popular petrol engine. If you are a high mileage driver you have the choice of Astra CDTi diesel engines, 1.3, 1.7, 2.0.

There's a huge second hand Vauxhall Astra Market. There's always a good supply of most models. Demand is competitive for used Vauxhall Astras with high specifications and more powerful engines.
