    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.

    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-))...

    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

    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!

      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!

    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
      @Sto79Be Před 4 měsíci

      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.

      ​@@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

      @@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.
