@@miguelmelchior986 Being inside the Golf makes it far too obvious that VW are trying desperately to build it as budget-conscious as possible. It just feels too cheap. Hard-pack plastics absolutely everywhere, and they skimp on as many buttons as possible. And so many of the few buttons that do exist are capacitive, which just adds to the feeling that they don't want to afford putting in just a few extra actual buttons. The lack of backlighting on many of the "buttons" also feels ridiculously cheap. The Golf feels like a cry for help from Volkswagen saying "we want more money for less effort". The Astra on the other hand just feels like Opel put so much more money, effort and passion into it. That's just my opinion.

I had the Golf 8 for 2 Months after a Car Crash (wrecked my lovely Golf 7 Variant, 160k km after 3 years. ran perfectly). And I HATED it. The Touch buttons were terrible, no backlight on TOUCH buttons... It's just so cheap, as you said.

Long before GM pulled the plug on the Holden brand here, in Australia [sobs], we lost access to the Euro-built Astra, and we’re the poorer for it. Not perhaps at the pointy end of the quality stakes, but certainly a sturdy and reliable small car. This latest iteration appears to be a cracker.

Here in Brazil we also lost access to the Opel cars around the middle of the 2000 ( when GM was in financial trouble if I am not mistaken). Before that the Opel cars were really popular ( Vectra, Opel Omega, Zafira, Meriva and Corsa). One interesting fact: in the 2000 GM decided to import the aussie Holden Commodoro to replace the Opel Omega. It had quite a success here in Brazil as well.

That was a great review Thomas. Well done. Although being a former opel fun, I drive a Renault these days, I have to say that Astra is supossed to be a roomy family car. And it was until now. In my opinion almost in every psa hatchback car, back seats are not spacious and neither the trunk is. Maybe there is an improvement on the set up but not in the space inside as well.

My takes: - Thomas came built with facial harmonization as standard lol (brazilians will get this) - designwise I think this new Astra looks better than the Golf - that manual shift looks smooth as butter - the back lights are so "Golfesque" - I see Peugeot/Citroen at the door knob, key and the turning/wiper knobs... - I feel like both Golf and Astra have downgraded the quality of the interior. Maybe it is just my perception, but this boxy black shape is not that attractive. - a huge thumbs up for keeping the manual temperature control instead of that touch control gibberish in the current VWse - that black piano surrounding the dashboard will get so many fingerprints... - the secret chamber looks cheap as f... - they should have put one USB-C and one USB-A outlet

The summary is that there is not a single such serious error that you can not accept it and live with it. There are 9 details that are less good but none of these are absolutely crucial and it is compensated by lots of good things and technology. Golf, however, has two such serious flaws, very poor space for the feet in the front seat and useless instrumentation and controls, then there are other bad ones as well, but they are more emotion and impression. All the negative comments come from people who know nothing at all about this car and only guess based on a first - uninterested - impression - that is not much to come up with...

The emblem which opens The trunk / boot is invented by Opel - not VW... Opel has had four different variants for opening the trunk connected to the emblem, Omega 1994 where Opel invents the whole idea for the first time, Astra 2010, Corsa 2014, Insigna 2017 and now Astra again in the fifth variant, Opel was before VW with the emblem in the middle on the trunk and that a lift in or press on the emblem opens. VW makes its own version in Golf 2004, 10 years after Omega, or shown first in Volkswagen D Concept 1999, but it is obvious that it is Opel that invents the solution and not VW that just copies it, the variant that sits on the Astra is more from the Insignia 2017 and differs from how it looks on the Golf. The black triangle behind the back door is not from Kadett but from Rekord 1978, if you look at the design and compare, the difference is clear. The material in the gray cover is compensated by the fact that real aluminum is used in large quantities, it should be noted - And by the way... I think the gray color breaks very nicely against the shiny black. The blind spot warning is radar based in the Intelli-Drive 1.0 available in Astra Elegance at the low price of 550 € which detects cars at a distance of 65 meters, that technology is taken from Insignia. And in other films where the distance is visible to the car behind, I experience in any case that the distance is one or ? two car lengths behind, while the old PSA technology lit the warning first at the same level as the bumper, it may be a wrong... experience, but it looks like that.

Thomas why didn't you test the rear passenger space of the Sport Tourer? Theoretically it has almost 6cm longer wheelbase than the hatchback. So it is possible those extra points will go for the rear passenger comfort but the new 308 sw gave all the extra wheelbase for boot space. Can you tell us what Opel did in the same situation?...

Great review video! The glass PurePanelPro looks like the one to get. The base trim looks too cheap-looking. I hope they reinforce the headrests by the time it arrives. Any comment on the rear legroom in comparison with the previous generation Astra? I thought the new Astra has a slightly longer wheelbase, which suggests the rear legroom should improve, even if by a negligible amount. Also, how would you say is the ride quality in normal city driving when comparing with a more premium model such as the BMW 1 Series hatch which has the multi-link rear suspension?

Golf 7.5 highline driver here. I agree Thomas. no matter how hard I try to like the new 8 I don't like it 1 bit or I would have to look at a very very expensive/overpriced GTI or R. If something happened to my car I don't think I will go for the current MK8. A strange question maybe, but why do they never cover up the body colour on the inside of the doorframe which you see if you are in the interior? You know next to the B pilar of the car. Why don't they make it black or try to match it with the rest of the parts?

Base interior looks ugly, but the "premium" one isn't much better. Piano black ruins it. And there's the question of engines. 1.2 Puretech has really bad reputation for reliability, basically due to timing belt being faulty and also weak metallurgy (cracking heads or cylinders). Maybe the new reworked version with timing chain will remedy some of that.

I love the exterior design, best in its class for me. I am not so keen on the interior, difficult to say from a video but some areas look very cheap. The surround for the manual shifter looks like there is something missing or they ran out of ideas so just used a massive piece of material. The steering wheel also looks very cheap. The flashes of red also look tacky and dated. Great to see they have put thought into the seats - I always found Vauxhall seats gave me backache really quickly so good to hear these are comfortable. I would find this a frustrating car to own I think - great exterior let down by some poor interior design details and materials.

The steering wheel certainly does not come close to the likes of a RangeRover - but for a compact hatch (when considering the alternatives) it's perfectly fine. Indeed those red door inserts do not match well - especially when paired with the golden paint. But they're only used on the GS-Line, otherwise they come in brushed aluminium look.

Haha I love the indicator sounds… if memory serves me right (and I may absolutely be wrong) …but that indicator brings back memories of the 1990’ Opel kaddet 200is I drove all those years ago….

This might be the first Opel I ever bought. Love the design language ant interior quality. Maybe Opel found itself at last under Stellantis.

finally, vauxhall/opel design team smash it first time in a new-gen. i''ve always been put off for some design reasons whenever i consider an astra but this is looking really good. shame about the outer seals being that cheap black/greyish shit, i'm sure a small expense getting them glossed would make them look much better

I would buy one over a Golf. The Golf is so common and boring at this point. I think Opel have done a good job on the retro inspired styling and the interior is amazing and so modern. Great design. I don't think they should have blacked out the badge. From a distance it's hard to tell what it is. Is it a Skoda? Is it a Hyundai? No idea. Mentioning the Kadett D styling touch, I can't believe how much the ET Nissan Pulsar and the Kadett D look alike. Nissan obviously copied the design.

Front end looks so much better than the golf.. Unfortunately the interior, asides from the nice glass screens (which I hope the golf face-lift gets) is really cheapo looking and the design is very confused.

I don't understand why germans use this l/100km measure. Not everyone is going to drive 100km in one go. Makes much more sense km/l, so you know how many kilometres a car can do with 1 litre.
