Vauxhall Astra 2022 | do you NEED it?? | in-depth review 2022

[@aciddiver1978]

In Norway the first astra was in 1990. Named kadett until then. I think i will look for a well looked after astra h. Things are easier by those cars than today, and cheaper to maintain.

The Astra H is a workhorse! UK police used them for years. My aunt also has one which is 13 years old and is still going strong. In 13 years its had 1 broken coil spring, rocker cover gasket and a new 02 sensor, not bad at all 😁 These newer 3 cylinder engines are not gonna last as long if you like to put your foot down and have some fun.

In Europe its called Opel Kadett.

I do also have reservations about the 3 pot culture. You can hear them regardless what you have they are not balanced. Been hiring lots of cars recently. Corsa kuga c4 juke and grandland all with 3 pots. You can just tell its a 3 pot. The kuga was by far the quietest but I could still tell. Rented a cx5 2.0 skyactiv and while it was no faster it was smooth as silk in comparison. I guess things are all about economy but all these reviewers who rate them as characterful and thrummy must be on the payroll they are not enjoyable. Stick with a 4cyl vw tsi. Thats their bread and butter. Been doing that for generations.

A comprehensive review. Annoying advertising banner across the bottom though, is it really necessary to have this onscreen for the whole hour long video?

First Astra not built in UK? My 2014 Astra GTC J was built in Poland.

[@teddy6888]

Is it possible to add a full-size or space-saver spare wheel as a factory option?

[@Mariazellerbahn]

Good grief, what a crock of ****. I want analogue instruments. I want a proper gear selector. I want a proper hand brake. I want two doors. I don't want stop-start. Looks like I'll have to stick with my current car or buy an old classic. Thank goodness I'm nearly dead.
