Seems like this guy has something personal against the Astra. Very nitpicky for absolutely no reason at all. This car is a facelifted version of the 2016 Astra K version. Please do your research before spouting nonsense. Disappointing!

I test drove the car today, and actually the Astra is awesome and ordered one after the drive. This CVT that is chain driven, is miles better than a previous generation CVT.

More research could be done to review the car and explain the positive traits. Three cylinder powerplant, that was designed to be quieter and more fuel efficient compared to all the competitors that you mentioned. The metal that was used in the engine that makes this car lighter? The placement of turbo and has a smaller size so there is less lag. The CVT that uses a chain instead of a rubber belt, why is it different? Did it contribute to how u feel at the lower gears? I think more could have been done to properly review this car, instead of just driving and bashing it based on 'feel'. Spot on about the looks, but was it because of aerodynamic consideration when they designed the car? 🤔 Hopefully the level of journalism could be better for your next video. Cheers.

Its not a biased review. I own a 2016 astra and the driver dashboard looks exactly the same as this 2020 one. The only thing they updated is the infotainment software. Its damn lazy if u ask me. Was hoping for better.

Did this reviewer know that Rob Wilson, who is the renowned coach for f1 drivers, uses the Astra to train champions? Go ahead and search Rob Wilson on youtube, or even search for reviews from Europe, none of them ever complained the Astra's handling and feel. Just look at Mat Watson's reviews. He actually loved the Astra's handling. hmmmmm.........

I think the styling of the Astra was great. I had the previous model and it was a great car. Another biased car review. In the uk this model of Astra was used to train F1 drivers because of its great balanced chassis.

after driving this car for 6months... i would say the review isnt fair enough for the astra. the power of the car comparing to its peers is thumbs up. i agree to the point that the internal design would have being better but the performance of the car is way under rated.

Neither of that is happening. Quality of the PSA models has gone down and the prices are rising, so that PSA gets more money out of Opel. I wonder how long thats going to work...

Will you subscribe, consider to subscribe or won’t subscribe - definitely WON’T SUBSCRIBE! This review is all about your personal preference (rather prejudice) against the car or brand... I suppose the Seat Leon (which by the way your own website say has been discontinued in Oct 2020) looks better and that it’s analogue cluster is also more modern that Opel’s - come on! Surely you can be more objective. And recommending cars using VW gearbox renowned for its clunky lower gears, failures and mechatronic issues at only $6000 is really objective!
