[@blackwhite3786]

Rhys Claydon-Wotherspoon Can I ask you about the consumption of the car? I am thinking to buy the 1.4 petrol tyrbo 150ps and I am littlebworry about the consumption. Can you give me sime.numbers?

[@johncradle9746]

[@johncradle9746]

And I had the 1.4 turbo 150 and got rid of it

[@pipoo1]

Ditched a 15 plate Focus ST for a 68 plate Astra Elite Nav with 1.6t petrol. I do not regret my decision. The Astra is absolute joy to drive and is at its best on a bendy country A/B road. I’d argue an Elite Nav, just with factory spec is the best value for money hatchback on the road, you get the 8inch touch screen and upgraded audio, front and rear heated leather seats with electric lumbar support, rear USB ports for charging gadgets, heated steering wheel, dual zone climate control, front and rear electric windows. For an extra £90 you can order a boot organiser which removes the boot lip and provides an organiser for the usual stuff people carry in the boot.

[@eriksvonrosen267]

backspace in the astra is just awsome. One of the best features. i work as a car salesman (an used to sell opel / vuaxhall before) and this model must have the biggest back seat in it's class. I'm 192 cm tall and behind myself in my seating position i had about 7-10 cm from my knees to the front ''chair''. Great! and the corsa is very nice too for being a small car.

[@Sceri0]

Really like the new Astra too

[@Alan_Mac]

I've just driven a 1.4 Astra from London to Glasgow and back and I was astounded at how good it is.

[@pcjtech]

Test drove the Astra this week and as a one time hater of Vauxhall cars I was surprised and impressed at just how good it is. Placed my order straight after the test drive for the excellent Elite Nav model.

[@FireHawkGaming]

Philip Jones Never thought I would like an Astra, but recently bought a 58 plate Astra H (2 models back) as my first car and I LOVE IT! You can chuck it around corners and it will just grip and go and with its 1.6l 115bhp direct fuel injection engine it just goes like a rocket. Fantastic car and to hear that the new one is even better (and looks even more so) well, I have a tough decision to make between that and the new Fiesta, in my mind the two best drivers cars you can buy.

[@johncradle9746]

Philip Jones I am utterly gobsmacked how good the Astra is - I have the elite in bi turbo with the nicer wheels, 60mpg and shifts very quickly !

The Vauxhall Astra is by far the best!

[@johncradle9746]

I have an Astra 1.6 biturbo - it is absolutely superb!!!!! In every aspect it impresses 160 BHP and 60mpg and heated front and back seats and heated steering wheel is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of equipment!

Had my Astra Elite Nav Biturbo for 3yrs now and its been absolutely flawless,great car.

[@yowhaatsup]

What engine?

[@duttonfx]

Focus owner here - Ford Focus Trend 1.5 Ecoboost (manual) in Australia. It's my first car, being 17, and it's great to drive. Everyone seems to complain about the infotainment system, but this isn't the case with the (newer) Sync 3 system. Sync 3 is batshit boring to look at, but it's very functional. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto (although I never use either). The 1.5 EcoBoost feels very torquey (is that a word?), with a great transmission and easy clutch. I've upgraded to some 18" wheels (from the ugly stock 16's) with Bridgestone RE003's, and it handles very well with stock suspension. Also sounds _surprisingly_ good with a muffler delete. Great car for the money, albeit cheap on some aspects.

[@TheFightersWay]

i drive this astra often, its a company car and its great, 200 hp, drives well, looks good and I think its better than our 200 hp seat leon, also its more reliable, just a great car.

[@FlixTV101]

I'd get the Golf every time, the interior is really nice with a 2.0 Diesel engine, it would rock!

[@CanalulAscuns]

Flix i know i am one year late, but when i saw this comment i taught at a point that i had some time ago . If you ask anybody about VW they will tell you “2.0 TDI” . Those engines are so good even to this day , shame that they will not live for so much longer because of the diesel problem.

[@sebastianlim2499]

The Opel Astra is easily the best

[@Dreadpirateflappy]

Except it lacks some very basic kit. Doesn't even have rear armrests!

[@pierrot148]

I think the astra looks very cheap inside. Cheap glossy plastic, all the shiny bits are plastic instead of chrome, it's a big mess of colours in the dials,... I don't agree with Matt in terms of the interior. It is very good value however.

[@sic22l]

This glossy plastic is piano black paint finish. It's not cheap, even Mercedes uses it in C class or E class.

[@pierrot148]

sic22l no it's not I'm afraid, it's way lower quality. pure plastic.

[@sic22l]

PvanP It's pure plastic, just like in two Mercedes models I mentioned. Piano black finish is always painted plastic in any car.

[@nickwills6042]

I agree with the verdict, only i think the front of the new astra is good, and the back is less good

The most important thing in any car review is the bottle test. Let's not forget that. If a car manufacturer would like to win reviews then make sure you can store a large amount of bottles in the side door.

[@scottboyx78x]

Great video and review. As someone who has driven many company cars I have noticed over the last 5/6 years or so the vast improvement in quality from Vauxhall. The company I work for has many cars 2 of which are VW touran and a Zafira tourer. The Vauxhall is way better in every way in terms of comfort and refinement. Matt is one if the very few car journalist that does NOT allow the "placebo" effect to affect him, unlike many other car journalists. I am 100% sure that if you could replace the Vauxhall badge with a VW badge you would get very different opinions GUARANTEED. Give credit were credit is due, Vauxhall are finally now making cars that are good enough to be up there with the very best in their sector.

[@xIcarus227]

Right you are. The badge is the singular reason why VW holds its value better post-launch. That being said I don't see how I could buy one if I were looking for a second hand car. Most of their competitors are cheaper second hand. Truth be told, the Golf does conflict with my values of what makes a car suitable for me. So it makes it an instant no-buy as far as I'm concerned. To each his own.

[@pslavi]

I agree mate 100%.. The Astra is a superior car for the price

[@In_a_state]

The Focus is sporting 18" inch wheels vs the Golf's 16, tires that size will make more noise. It's atleast as well noise insulated as the Golf, as others have also reported. I can't fit in the Astra, the steering wheel can't be adjusted high enough for me not to hit it with my knees (I'm 1.86m). Astra's dash feels small, like I'm riding in a small city car. I'm with the Focus on this one, 17" rims with an exterior package if possible and the chrome grill looks better than any other hatchback for me.

[@MrEngland92]

And Matt just seems to make every single car review watchable

[@LewisNelson98]

Great job, Mat. Well done! Totally agree with you about Astra,, which also has such a cool feature like a matrix led head lights

[@Sailor_alan]

I've had all 3 of these the golf is best for soundproofing, but, astra k is most fun to drive. The first gen focus was amazing.

[@lukefleming0607]

Had a 1.4 petrol Astra with 150bhp as a courtesy car from Vauxhall while my 2015 insignia was in for service. Was a lovely car to drive. Considering part exchanging the insignia for an astra at some point. Think I'd go for the 1.4 150bhp or 1.6 200bhp petrol engine. I always thought elite nav was top spec model but today found out there's a new ultimate trim level that's top of the range with absolutely every option fitted and is the only trim to have led lights as standard. Looked round one today with the 200bhp 1.6 petrol engine

[@Robert.3Coupe]

i've driven recently an aastra g , a mk4 golf and a mk1 focus i must say , the focus is the most fun to drive the astra is the most comfortable and the vw golf the most practicle

[@BM_PAZ]

The ISOFIX on the Golf is a lot simpler than you make out, it's actually just as easy and quick as you showed in the Astra.

[@johnatron4140]

Thought I should mention that the Ford Focus did get an interior update in 2017 which added a smoother infotainment system called sync 3 which does include apple car play and Android Auto. Also, some of the materials were changed in the interior along with the addition of a rear arm rest on models that are titanium and higher.

1/2. Golf 1/2. Astra 3. Mazda 3 4. Focus 5. Pulsar 6. Auris

[@joseluislopes3956]

why the auris so far down?

[@BestCarSound]

The lack of space in the back. I'd consider it, but useless rear seats (for 1,87 cm)

[@SimHarrison]

The Pulsar doesn't belong on that list, and the Auris and Focus should be swapped.

[@BestCarSound]

i think mazda would be my first or second choice after golf.

[@ahmedmahay]

I would pick Astra over Golf (Focus not even being a choice with its hideous tail lights and impractical infotainment system). I just love Astra's behind and the interior looks so pleasing to the eye. The steering wheel itself is so beautiful.

[@Sailor_alan]

Having had all 3 the astra is my pick

[@meinameina7158]

So the golf is most practical, most reliable and well made, has most features and is easily best looking giving some trims like alloy upgrades and colour.

[@sisiphomofokeng239]

I’m getting the Astra.. Thanks for this great review!

[@BM_PAZ]

I've had the Focus for a company car and it was a good car all round with no issues. I now have the Golf which is better especially in GTD form and so far so good.

[@londoninhd4430]

yea..... got my eye on a GTD next too... but manual or DSG?

[@BM_PAZ]

+LondonInHD I got the manual version, it's a really good gearbox and I find it a lot more fun to drive. My last car had DSG and although it was really good I just felt like going back to a manual. Whichever version you get it's a great car, you won't be disappointed, especially with 184hp.

[@yvonnerobbertsen1456]

Go the manual, is a fab fun drive.

[@mikedoverskog]

I had one of those 1.0 eco boost SR line thingys. Claustrophobic interior and although impressive performance for a 1.0 not great to drive. The nav system needs to grow a brain too. Clunky infotainment interface. Reasonably comfy seats though and it definitely has the edge in looks. It looked pretty fly, for a white ride. :p

[@Dreadpirateflappy]

I had a hard time choosing recently between the Astra, mazda 3 and the Golf. I loved the Mazda 3, but it was so noisy compared to the other two and had to be revved hard to get the speed due to being NA The Astra was nice but the interior looked a bit cheap compared to the other 2, quite nice to drive though. Sadly it was missing some basic kit that I wanted, namely ACC and rear armrests. I got the golf in the end due to it feeling the best to drive, also mine came with a free sunroof and ACC as standard. i do kind of wish I had got the Mazda 3 in the end as it is easily the best looking car in the class and despite it's faults I think I would have been slightly happier with it. i had a focus in the past and it was nothing special at all, wouldn't get another.

[@CaptainButtonMasher]

By far the best car reviews I've seen so far. Really well done with just the sort of information I'd need. Great presenter too. Thanks.

[@DreamCarGarage1]

The Golf looks bland inside and out. It actually looks like a design step back as it more closely resembles the mk6 than the mk 7. The Astra looks a awkward but the focus on looks at is visually purposeful.

That Golf ski flap is a £160 option, even that red paint is an option. How many option boxes were ticked on that test model? I bet the Focus and Astra will be pretty much fully loaded for the basic cost.

But i need that practicality of the Golf so i will pay a little bit more and get the Golf.

Mat, thanks for the thorough reviews, the best I could find. Maybe anyone could recommend a car search engine that includes 2 features no engine I've found mentions: highway road grip & cabin quietness. I have some high speed anxiety and these two are the must. Costs vary so approximately of 2016-2017 Polo or Astra. Mat's reviews helped me to focus on Astra, Focus, Golf maybe, but I might go for bit larger cars if that helps to reach the goal of reduced noise and extra stability. The question is if there is a way to find the models that fit my search.

[@olioliver1398]

Hey. I've also got a bit of high speed anxiety too but didn't know there was a word for it. A while ago drove a Honda Civic for work and was amazed how quiet it was inside, how stable it felt and how smooth it was to drive - high winds on the motorway became almost a non-issue. Definitely worth a test drive. I will be considering one for my next car. Have always driven focuses and they are good but quite rattley compared to civic. Hope this helps and good luck.
