Yay H is back!

[@pipoo1]

It's definitely has a bit of the H 3 door styling to it and that's not a bad thing.

Hi everyone I have had my astra 1.2 130 bhp ultimate. I.n white and black roof. And diamond cut wheels it looks lovely and a lot of people have said the same very stylish great to drive and lots of toys on it I carant fault it I done 700 miles now and we’ll happy lovey car to look at and drive

[@highkingcctv409]

I still love mark 3 astras On this one I like the front grill , almost like a camero front , it’s a shame they had to use so much of Peugeot 308 parts and interior but I don’t think the designers had much choice, I think they will grow on people (looks wise ). Seen really nice ones on the road , would love to see a crazy powered awd version like the Impreza hatch

[@sidneythomasparker121]

I have the GS Tourer Estate .i find the suspension hard over bumps!! Need to been softer ride !! Nice car but there is few problems. Doors are heavy!! Vauxhall should have a website to give out review. I have had many Vauxhalls over the years.

[@colinward1007]

Im struggling to put the words Vauxhall and Brilliant together in the same sentence. Well....anywhere remotely near each other.

Think I might get on when I pass my test

[@NigelRudyard]

It's a smart thing now -- looks solid and secure on the road. I had one decades ago. Dismal thing, but this bears no resemblance to its forebears!

[@thezanzibarbarian5729]

It's a damn good looking car. Best from Vauxhall for decades. And I'm sure that if Oreste Da Molin were still alive, your _"look-a-like"_ would have liked it too 8-))...

[@eddiejones.redvees]

I have a 2015 Astra j the are sill plenty on the roads but a have not seen many new Astras on the road I think It looks like the viva A with its square body looks also the are more people buying More SUV vehicles also it’s up against the Peugeot 308 which I think looks better with its more rounded panels

[@pipoo1]

The car market has changed radically since the J. Gone are the days when the Focus, Golf and Astra could shift nearly half million cars a year between them. The Number one selling car in the UK last year shifted just 40,000 units.

[@johnwhite2143]

Its a nice looking car, certainly dont think it will drive better than a focus,their handling is supposed to be amazing and you cant compare it to audi coz their more expensive and luxurious inside , for a bargain car the astra looks good but guaranteed their scratchy plastics dotted about and will the seats last the test of time or start getting worn after a couple of years, i like the look of it though and would definitely consider one at the moment i keep my diesel jeep renegade limited that does over 60 miles per gallon an is cheap to run 👌👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

8 won't ever buy an electric vehicle. So can anyone tell me is this electric or petrol? Sorry but I didn't catch if he said.

[@leasingdotcom]

petrol

[@Sto79Be]

Don’t buy it. What they don’t tell you is it might be petrol but it uses a battery under the hood to power electric motors all over the place, like in the windscreen wipers, the rear wiper, the starter motor, the heating fans. Can’t be doing with all that electrification!

[@highkingcctv409]

There’s a 1.5 diesel aswell

[@Paulo-ov4yo]

It's a Peugeot

[@rayaspo4893]

It quite clearly a Vauxhall. Do you call an Audi a Skoda?

Would definitely go for a petrol one but wouldn't touch the EV version a there planet killers

[@grahamherbert3612]

The 'K' was the end of the Astra, this thing is a depressing eggbox.

[@deborahsparesmith5377]

Shame it's also dangerous! The dashboard keeps going blank and all the electrics go off. I returned mine after 4 months on mobility. Avoid this car till they have fixed the fault

[@mattyjamess7818]

You mean thanks Peugeot,

[@razorsportvision]

It's so ugly 😂

[@lllMZED]

Put ur opinion in ur ass

[@DjNikGnashers]

It's not sporty or confident, and it's not 'beating' Ford or VW either. You must have been paid to say all that bullshit, seriously man. This has to be a paid advert. Just because it has a screen on the dash now, doesn't mean it's as good let alone better than 'the Germans', it looks absolutely shyte, look at it ffs. It isn't even close to being anywhere near as good as VW or 'the Germans', it looks 10 years behind as regards styling, screen quality & content, and technology. They basically copied the Seat rear end but made it blander, and the Golf front end removing anything interesting, the interior looks crap, I bet the scratchy plastics are everywhere. It's a car for people who don't care about cars, and just want a cheap, boring, white goods car, to last you from retirement date to death. And one last thing, I'm 54 so plenty old enough to remember the GTE, and it was a useless, rotbox, for the max power generation, there were so many more much better cars around.

[@Sto79Be]

It’s clearly beating the Ford Focus for sure, and I say that as a previous Ford fan. Ford will phase out the focus soon, and just as well because it looks positively bland and dated compared to the Astra.

[@DjNikGnashers]

@@Sto79Be How is it 'clearly beating' Ford or VW. Explain, and provide some proof. I'm not interested in just believing some fanboy opinion.

[@robsmall6466]

​@@DjNikGnashersNever owned a Vauxhall but having seen a few of these in the metal the styling is quite good. The sister Peugeot is a prettier car ( especially the rear ) but doesn't come with a manual and is more expensive than the Astra. I would think the Focus would be better to drive as has been the case for some time. Shame there won't be a VXR as far as I am aware

[@DjNikGnashers]

@@robsmall6466 I'm not even a Ford fan, but it is absolutely agreed by the vast majority of the motoring press that the Focus was actually pretty decent as a drivers car. I have owned Vauxhalls, albeit many years ago, although I worked in the motor trade for many years and drove plenty of modern ones alongside every other brand to compare.

[@pipoo1]

Put it this way over the years I've owned a Golf GTI, 3 Foci including a MK3 ST and 2 Astras including a Mk7 1.6T which was a hot hatch in all but name. So with all those years experience of the top 3 selling hatchbacks I've just placed an order for a brand new Astra GS Line. Vauxhall have nailed it with this car. Ford are pulling out of the hatchback market altogether, which to me screams they've lost touch with their customer base and the problems at VW are well documented.
