This is a very good review, well done. I have the 1.4 Turbo 150 version in the UK which I think is a great car. Surprised that the test car had 5 speeds not 6. Good to see tester doing driving on normal roads not throwing it around a track and not trying to be funny and / or clever like certain UK websites. Subscribed!
Thank you
Hi jez any problems so far? Thinking of buying one as great value for money
@@jamie1992ful Hello James, well I only had it on a one year lease and it was absolutely fine, good on fuel and comfortable. The only thing I would say is that the 1.4 engine 150 is punchy but a bit noisy when you rev it
@@jezstokes8592 that's good to know how noisy? I thought it would be quiet having 4 cylinders and being a 1.4 ?
@@jamie1992ful try one see what you think! I just thought it sounded like you were thrashing it at high revs
Opel really did a very good job with new Astra, most of the improvement I see is with the interior aesthetics/ambiance which is a cut above previous model. Surprisingly nice/revy sounding 3cyl. on the motorways. A lot of positives there and hopefully it continues with upcoming new Insignia. Top review there Thomas.
thanks m8 !
I'm not advertising, but this car has just become "Car of the year 2016" in Lithuania. :-)
+Jonas Čijauskas really? interesting
Also... if someone is interested, specific points for the cars are: Opel Astra (51); Audi A4 (47); Škoda Superb (41); Volvo XC90 (39); Hyundai i20 (28); Mercedes-Benz GLC (27); Ford S-Max (18). Evaluation commission consisted of 10 members. Each of them had 25 points, which they could devote however they wanted. Although, they couldn't appoint more than 10 points for one car.
Here are the other nominations...
3 nominations to Volvo XC90: "Car of the nation", "Best safety" and... "Female attraction object". :-D
"SUV of the year": Audi Q7; "Business car of the year": BMW 7; "Best design": Renault Espace; "Most sporty": Seat Leon Cupra.
So ... It is Volvo XC90, that got the most attraction in our country. But probably, Opel is the winner due to smaller expenses.
Also, it would be interesting if others share information with the community, which cars are the winners (Cars of the year, or something like that...) in other countries.
I like auto community here! ;-)
In Bulgaria:
Skoda Superb- Car of the year 2016
Volvo XC90- 4x4 OTY
Mini Clubman- City COTY
Renault Zoe- Eco COTY
BMW 7- premium COTY
Love the motorway noise test. All reviews should have that! Very useful to know
+pipcannon thanks!
Nice and clear review, relaxing to watch too. Looking for a new car at the moment and you channel is a great help. Thanks for all the work and keep it up !
quite premium for c segment.as an Opel Astra J 1.4 Turbo driver, i like the optional features, like massage seats, heated seats even in the back, agr licenced and electronically adjustable seats, the steering wheels have upmarket appeal. i also really appreciated the 200 kg diet. also safety assistants, lightning technology which even Mercedes A class doesnt have in options... Good job Opel.
Old review I know, but relevant for me as I am looking at a 2016 model and have found this a good review that addresses my points.
Ich bin erstaunt, dass die Leute hinter dem OnStar Service so kompetent sind. Thumbs up.
Das sind sie wahrscheinlich nur im ersten Jahr. Im zweiten Jahr wirst Du weitergeleitet an ein drittklassiges Callcenter in Mangaluru, nachdem Du ein vier-Jahres-Abo unterzeichnet hast ... lol
Thank you for another good review Thomas! Perfect to watch after an early shift, coming home from work :) When it comes to the OnStar system I think it feels really outdated! If you want information nowadays you just use your smartphone, easy and quick and no unnecessary talking necessary :) Schönes Montag Thomas!
+Angus MacGyver great, thanks! I feel mixed about the onstar system as well .. for emergency its great, but every car is required to have that starting next year afaik (for emergency stuff)
Great review again Autogefühl. I do sincerely support your work, there's really nothing left unsaid, and so for this new Astra.
Anyway, here in Croatia Astra is like every third car on the road, it's a lot more common than Focus or even Golf! (it had been sold for years now as two-generation model at the time with model on the end of it's lifecycle becoming 'ASTRA KLASIK', and getting much more affordable price-tag).
+Marko Jajčinović thanks Marko! Oh wow didnt know Opel was so famous in Croatia. You have the Astra with Opel, not with Vauxhall, do you?
That's right, Opel not Vauxhall! :) We're considered as southeast-european market.
Btw. I'm studying crysis managment and we were told recently that all new European vehicles are obligatory to have one sort of Opel's On Star system for emergency occasions starting next year, as you stated in comments bellow.
Interesting fact!
+Marko Jajčinović yes indeed, not the service stuff of course, but all cars are obliged to have an automatic emergency call starting 2018 (in the EU)
thanks Thomas, this was a popular request. cant wait for the estate
+alxactly thanks! Indeed I put that on caus a lot of you guys asked :)
Again very nice review. Thanks
Good test Tomas, I like how you do a in depth review and show even how On Star works.
thanks, tune in to more!
Excellent review! Very useful insight...
Astra is true European hatchback. For me it has more personality than Focus or Golf so I would forgive small imperfections mentioned in the review.
Great editing in this video.
+Stephenb033 thanks stephen!
A very good, detailed review. Thank you.
you're welcome!
Thank you for a great review. I realy like your channel. It would be fantastic if you could make a comparison of this model with other brands in the same class.
+Kim Storvold thanks Kim! Lets see what we can do. Soon we give you some insight in the Sports Tourer version
Opel has really improved...But still I prefer the ford focus!!
Btw great review!!The best I've seen yet!
+Σταυρος Διακοαναστασιου (stavros1997) thanks I appreciated that! And I share your view :)
The side chrome strip reminds me of the Astra J GTC that I drive. In general, I like the look of the previous model more. Wheels also became smaller, whereas the car itself is not that much smaller. As far as I know, the versions with engines above 120HP have different suspension. And when it comes to knobs on the steering wheel, only the highest trip level with the biggest navi has this wheel. In lower trip level version, knobs are exactly the same as they were before.
Good review anyway:)
+slapi2006 thanks!
I really like this car but i think exterior design of the previous one was better..I definitely would prefer this over Golf.
good looking car
Dear Thomas & Autofefuhl team, thanks a lot for a detailed review it was very clear and intutive , we are interested in buying a easytronic 3.0 model of the Astra , but i don't find any reviews or test drive for this car model , even a handler does not have this model to be shown at :(, it would be very grateful if you could give us a review or a test drive how the new generation easytronic 3.0 really works
Looks like a great car to me, thanks for the video
+TRUTH SEEKER thanks!
About the suspension, I think only the more powerful engines get the watt-link suspension (1.6 turbo and 1.4 biturbo), I'm curious how much the 1.6 turbo 200 hp Astra handling is improved by that system
Hello, is the steering electrical?
OPEL has improved. It's sure ! But not very impressed by the interior's style but it's well made
+Wold OliviO yeap
Hi Thomas, I really like your reviews! Of all the HB cars you've tested, which one would you recommend the most? In my case is, that I really like good feedback from the car, like good feeling on steering wheel and so on...
+bele77 sorry m8, HB cars?
+Autogefühl HB -> Hatchback cars :)
+bele77 ahh ok. Did you check out this: czcams.com/video/s3EL0umq11c/video.html
And this: czcams.com/video/7qxolylTp5g/video.html
I have driven Skoda Octavia and Superb, and if I am honest, I would rather buy Octavia over Superb. I enjoyed driving it more. I only don't like the interior/gauge lightning (black/white combination) of both of them... it seems a little bit without feeling, soulless. And I also felt torque pulling steering wheel when I went out of the corner wuth full throttle. That's why I prefer RWD cars. :) Otherwise great price/performance value.
I haven't driven Golf GTI though.
Where are you from Germany? NRW? I myself live in Essen. I thought if you are anywhere near?
I would like to see back seat tests to also have the presenter lean back on the head rest. Have been in cars lately where I cannot lean back because of the roof.
Go to 10:55 and turn on Closed Captioning. I was having slight difficulty following the commentary, turned on the Closed Captioning and... had a great laugh.
But, very good and detailed review :+1: , however closed captioning can be fun ;)
If sound insulation is only average what compact cars would you consider to be best in this discipline.
+ispiron55 Audi A3
opel made his way up
Lubar support has own electronic control on driver seat's heigth adjustment lever
I recently bought a 1.4 turbo petrol SRI with 140 bhp which is a very quick car. The car also has the anti collision system but no one on you tube ever reviews this system although it does a good job in an emergency. The advanced cruise control is also a good system and works well.
Hi have u had any problems with the car so far? Thinking of buying one thanks.
Hi, James I have not had any problems with the car so far. The only downside is the window de mister, which is not the best in the world. If you get a SRI be aware that the sport mode is for the open road only, way too much power for round town.
good job ..nice review..that´s is going to be my next car, i hope...the diesel version
+Francisco Armas thanks !!
did you buy a diesel version ? im thinking about buying one too and and i like diesel better because its cheaper fuel and gets more kilometers per liter , is it reliable ?
Great review! Was waiting for a good one on the Astra. I guess you would pick the Leon 5doors 1.4 over this astra? (That's the other one I'm interested in) I like the rear, but the front looks cheap..
+Bert Leysen thanks! Yeah I would do that. Leon feels more refined. And if you need more space (at kinda same budget), Octavia is way to go ... or just the Golf is also always fine. I felt good with this Astra definitely, but the others offer more for the same budget
+Autogefühl Thanks for the reply! That helps a lot!
+Autogefühl +Bert Leysen
I ordered the Opel Astra this week to replace my Seat Leon.
Because of the new model, fleet gives more rest value, i could choose for the 1.6 cdti automatic with dynamic finish + fleet pack, that has leather etccc, also got the 18 inch rims, nice , looking forward to it , also 136hp for a 1.6 nice :)
+IcEMyst Private Interesting!! How would you say it compares to the Leon to drive? :)
+Bert Leysen i ordered without test drive. for the moment i cant drive because of surgery on my anckle ( 2 screws in it) but my Leon is from the old model 2012, so i supose the new Opel will be much better. but ill let ya know , iets ordered, in april ill have it.
what is the name of the song playing in the background?
in general i don't like OPEL but i like this one and the interior .
I know what you mean. I think the problem is a bad reputation that has unjustifiably stuck to Opel/Vauxhall cars since the 90s. I used to drive a 2004 Astra diesel and from the day I bought it to the day I sold it (yes, sold it) I did 220,000 miles with it. Most reliable car I've ever had.
HS SH i had driven a corsa diesel in 2011 and it was not a good experience , hard seats , noisy / heavy old engine . the interior was good. i prefered the ford fiesta far more interesting with a very good gear box and engine. i was very pleased to drive a fiesta in the city instead of a corsa. Now i would like to drive the new opel 2020 to compare .
@@stephen10. I also would like to take it on a test drive
It's interesting that a lot of your observations are extremely different from all the UK reviews - I wonder whether the Vauxhall tuning/setup is quite different? For example the UK reviews praised the direct, fast steering and firm suspension...
The problem is, every model in the Astra K has its own suspension layout, so the impression varies. The 1.6 SIDI has a very stiff and fast responding riding experience, while the 1.0 maybe has a more comfort-oriented suspension with compromised driving at higher speeds or in situations when you need a stiff suspension.
Worth mentioning that all Astra Ks with the leather interior come with heated front AND rear seats as well the heated steering wheel as standard. On the update you'll also get massage and cooling (for when its hot) functions thrown in. Those aren't even options on its rivals.
Sadly leather has a big downside. First, check out what the leather industry is trying to do:

Below this video you'll find more resources in the pinned comment to explain the topic even more in-depth.
This one or seat ibiza? Both seems a great first 🚗. Any suggestions?
+Tomas Nilsén Seat Ibiza is the small car, Seat Leon would be the according car to this one. And I would take the Leon :)
Would you still recommend this car now? I am looking for a 2015-2018 Opel Astra (kombi)😕
Sure why not
Hi Thomas! Should I choose Golf, Focus or Astra? All Variant/Tourer version! Astra and Focus arę cheaper, but in the future they'll loose more of their prices..
Hey, imho the focus has the best styling, but golf interior and look and feel beats them by far. Go for the golf
***** That's also my impression :) Thank You Thomas! Regards, Krystian
I want to talk my father into buying one, a 1.4 T, and not a manual, but an automatic, as he approaches 70, is very healthy right now, but that could change in the next 5-7 years.
My comments about 3 cyl astra.
For 1.0T enough capable, makes harsh noise only briefly, no unnecessary vibrations, overall quite quiet (only little road noise and compared to Golf less tire noise). Engine was quite rev-happy, so it does not feel turbocharged. Fuel consumption was not that low (4l/100km @60km/h and 5-6l/100km @ 90-100km/h, same as 1.2-1.4TSI Golf).
Handling was vague (compared to Golf VII) and boring even with 225/45/17 tires, had to concentrate to keep car from waving. Gear-knob is half plastic, little uncomfortable, but gear-change felt good.
Standard (entry level) seats offer little back support, so I got backache after 30min. Entry level interior was little cheap-feeling compared to a version presented here (very bad steering wheel buttons - different from presented car). Cruise control could be set only by 2km/h intervals.
Infotainment: dull screen graphics, but not bad. Standard audio had very little bass(almost nothing), but highs were quite ok. Too many buttons for AC. Good armrest in front.
With double floor, luggage space was quite small. A-pillars obstract view, rear-view mirror little-bit too small and rear window were also small (5 door). Rear compartments felt much cheaper than front (no central armrest in the back). As much room as in Golf (although Astra is longer car).
If this car was cheaper than Golf then everything could be understandable, but here its priced at similar level as Golf. Overall visually its more fun than Golf (but only visually).
+madoc good feedback!
I think this year's Astra looks like Giullieta on the backside...

Ist nachvollziehbar, die Erreichbarkeit ist wesentlich größer und es wird wohl auch gut angenommen, wenn man die Abonnentenzahlen sieht. Klar wäre Deutsch "schöner", aber geht ja auch so.
Very nice reviews
So in your opinion this or the new megane? they are both on my shoping list.
+Luis Rodrigues Thanks! I feel like you have something a little more special with the new Megane. Still, I would pick a Golf or Leon or Rapid Spaceback over both
+Autogefühl i allready have a spaceback that im very happy with, but i want another car for my wife, so leon over megane?
+Luis Rodrigues hehe funny, so you need two compact cars? I d go for the Golf in this class ... or if design better with Leon, the Leon
+Autogefühl well probably not, but i find b segment kinda lacking, what cars would you recommend in b segment?
+Luis Rodrigues Small car segment? Skoda Fabia is my favourite there atm
Good review Thomas.
I don't know how direct German people are, but just for your comments I'd ssy this is a car you wouldn't buy in a million years!
+carlos fernandez thanks carlos! I didnt find it bad, felt good basically, but indeed I prefer the others in this class
I agree. It's a pitty the Golf is still so dull from the outside. The competitors make much more beautiful cars.
Thank you, Thomas! A review that is most appreciated.
You'd think in this day and age that a 10 way power seat would be standard at this price point. As for OnStar, it is a fun toy to play with but otherwise useless in the world of smart phones. Accident support is about the only thing that it offers worth while. I choose to discontinue the service once the free subscription ended.
+gbriank1 i like the mobile data connection, i constantly stream video and audio while driving long distances, this sure is a great help. for on star, yes you maybe use it a few times but that's it, it's not a great selling point for me either
+gbriank1 thanks m8! totally agree with u
+alxactly Thing is, GM could make this feature so much better for the price. The concept for OnStar and XM-Sirius is based upon the business model from the 1990's. Things have changed A LOT in the last 25 years.
very detailed and great reviews always , just in my opinion in this one there is a small flaw... I dont think you can compare this particular model with 3 cylinder with even a 1.6 Astra model with 4 cylinder as the torque and power are very different , let alone a ford focus or a VW. this is particularly for city driving , I wish you had a 1.6 Turbo or even 1.4 turbo for this review which I guess most of people would consider for buying :)
+Soroush Sanatkhani thanks! Well we test also smaller engines from time to time, as I said the Focus also has a 1.0 l engine.
I see ...
really like your videos keep up the good work :)
+Soroush Sanatkhani thanks we can use any support!
hi, the color of the Astra in this vidéo is "non metalic - royal blue" or "metalic - deep Sky blue" ? thx
+Charles Henry hey charles, in our static world premiere video you ll find all colours presented: czcams.com/video/rmqHUcmc7lw/video.html
The solidity of all the components, save the upper part of the dash, decreased with the new astra k; the seats, also, are less firm and comfortable than the J''s
Please what is the name of the music interpret
I really miss my 2002 Astra, last model made by the Belgium plant, piece of art have to say 2.2lt engine, I wish we could have Opel in USA even if the brand is trough Saturn again.
Well Opel is part of General Motors. In US, you have Chevrolet, Buick, etc.
+James Gordon Which are part of GM as well
If you're interested, check out the 2017 Chevrolet Cruze hatchback. It looks similar to the Opel Astra. We used to have Opel in the US. They were sold at Buick dealers. Now they're just rebadged and sold as Buicks.
Mine is a 2002 from Antwerpen as well. Has now 250,000 km on the dash. 1.8 i 125 hp (Z18XE). five-door Astra G.
It would be nice to see a review from the new Nissan Leaf 30kwh.
+SaturnV 250 km range sounds interesting!
I have the previous model (J) astra 1.4T, which I prefer more in terms of lines and elegance. However I am jealous of the more powerful engine and technical options of the new Astra, eg. the LED matrix headlights. The H -> J was an enormous leap forward for Opel, but the J -> K was a much smaller jump.
The Astra H was much better than both J and K models.
+WarthDader74 lol no, it wasn't. Sit inside a J then sit inside an H, then try not to vomit.
43854586 You can't be serious man. There are countless things that is better in the H model. Here are some of them:
1.The dashboard in H model looks more futuristic and the buttons are much more easy to use. The J model is a big confusing mess with all of the buttons.
2.The gear knob on manual H models is 'normal' designed and much better to operate than the "automatic transmission" looking gear knob on J and K. On the K model they have even made this worse , by angling the whole gear lever in an annoying and uneccassary way.
3. The seat adjustment in H models are much easier to operate than J.
4. The horisontal designed airflow vents in middle of H's dashboard looks much more 'premium class' than the verticals(looks cheap and ugly) on the J.
5. On H models it is possible to mount aftermarket car radios, which are much better than the originals.
6. The H models are more compact and feels sportier to drive.
7. The design of the H models looks more timeless than the newer ones. The front and rear design actually looks more modern than the K model.
Also the H model had better quality inside than the J model.
And in comparison with my 2002 Astra G, regarding the interior, The H is an even greater leap forward. My G's air vents come right from the 1980's :D
(Though i love the car, very reliable)
Thanks for your review. As I wrote you I bought this car.
I felt little bit disappointed with your test. The new Astra seems nothing special.
I tested this car with the 1.6 cdti 110 hp and I felt it good.
At the same time, you told that Seat Leon it's quite better made. I checked it and i don't share your opinion.
You are right that the new Astra is not sporty, but in my opinion, it has a good balance between comfort - sport. Do you share it?
How is the sound system? Good quality?
Thank your.
+Joaquín Ruiz thanks joaquin! Indeed I had the impression that the car is generally good and solid, but nothing special. Most of the stuff I found was wasnt good nor bad. Comfort is given yes... also I found the heated steering option very good. Sound system was quite good as well but also nothing special. I am sure you have done nothing wrong with buying that car
+Autogefühl This really suprises me, i tought that Leon is kinda "lower" budget car. I't dosen't have that kind interior quality like new Astra. Could you explain more why would you chose Leon?
+Yolee04 No, I've chose an Opel Astra. For me it's better than a Leon. No doubt.
Sorry, i've asked +Autogefühl why would HE pick Leon over Astra :)
+Yolee04 Ok, but don't wright over my commentary.
I have just bought the Astra Tourer K 136 CD1 Elite Nav and will comment later when I get it on Sept 17th 2017. Having watched the various videos, I decided to buy it over the opposition. I like Vauxhall. OK it is a downgrade from my Audi S4, but more practical
enjoy and let us know!
Nick Baker I test drove the car 1.4 T and was impressed with how easy it was to drive and how quiet it was in the cabin. The car was also quick to accelerate. I was also considering the Honda Civic sedan but it was very noisy and despite the powerful engine didn't feel quick. Let me know what your impression is once you get the car.
Nicely styled automobile sadly never to be seen on Canadian roads...
Thomas - I notice blue cars have become very common with nearly all car reviews both in Europe and in North America.
Does the reviewer get to choose the colour of the vehicle??
Ciao!
+Mario Dalla Riva on events when there are many cars available, I can pick between _some_. For tests at home, I can sometimes pick, but usually not. Its more frequent that I pick the engine
+Autogefühl Danke!!
FYI, the BMW Assist service I used in Canada is very good. 👍🏻
+Mario Dalla Riva so what are you using it more mainly?
+Autogefühl Hi Thomas. I stopped using it for my car (didn't want to pay the $200/year) but for my wife's it's mostly piece of mind plus she doesn't want a mobile phone (!!!) this way she can use the concierge if necessary. With the service you can also send info from Google maps remotely to the vehicle. Also, with the iOS BMW app you can remotely lock/unlock the vehicle which I've used a few times.
+Mario Dalla Riva ah ok
very nice car, I'd like one of these but don't have the money yet unfortunately
dont worry

Bought it as well red 136 hp automatic. It was a tight run with the mazda 3 2.2 150 hp which cost the same but for 10cm more I've less space in the back seat and much worse interior in my opinion (also infotaiment screen position I prefer the one in astra) . Didn't notice much difference in isolation or driving comfort as well...
+Corrado Biasi yes indeed the Mazda does not offer much space in the interior

You keep mentioning door closing sounds. I've been running around at dealers and closing doors on MANY cars, but NONE of them beat my MK1 Ford Focus. It's 13 years old, but the sound and the feel of the door closing is SIMPLY BETTER.
+ast5515 :-) Nice feedback, I ll have to see if I get a Mk1 Focus at some time and listen to that
***** Make sure to get the Ghia trim, the door close is different.
LOL What are the chances of you finding a MK1 Focus in Germany?
+ast5515 really a difference in door closing with the trim level? most interesting. We got a lot of old Focus driving around here.... quite frequent car
***** I'm not sure about the trim and the door closing, but from walking around the street and others closing their doors, it sounds like that to me. Maybe I just love my car too much?
Also, people in Germany have more money than us, so I thought older cars aren't very common.
+ast5515 indeed a lot of ppl lease the cars nowadays and get rid of them after 2 or 3 years again

Good solid review, but I think Thomas is becoming a bit spoiled. Nowadays I actually prefer Opel to many other brands. It is not “too much”. I would never consider anything else than the kombi (estate) model though.
ganz in der Nähe von meiner Heimatstadt geschossen... Freue mich schon auf den Vergleich mit dem Mazda 6 und dem Skoda Superb.
+Duke 82 =)
I hate the rear corners too :C
I prefer the 2l petrol of the new Mazda 3. Dont like small engines with turbo that replace mid-size engine with naturally aspiration. In my opinion, Opel does not produce driver's cars.
+partikelsmusic these smaller engines are invented for to sell well in different countries which use the volume of the engine prior in taxing systems, also for economical reasons. bmw 5 series with 1.6 turbo for example. or 1.4 l passat.
Not spacious interior in Mazda 3
the 125 hp turbo engine feels much quicker then the mazda 165hp. I've worked as a salesman in both brands.
Hallo Leute ich Fahre zeit Freitag der neue Astra K ist voll geil mit 150 PS imer wieder gern und ich habe meine Astra gtc nicht mehr
Ich denke dass es auch nichts mehr braucht wie 150 ps, stimmt das?
Also ich nehme gleich den 200 PS. Leistung beruhigt.
I hope that this is near the quality of the Astra F.... But i be damned to think so.....
Overall pretty decent car from the inside out. The buttons on the steering wheel look like an old Nintendo controller. They should redesign their logo, it's so ugly.
Suddenly, the rear of this car reminds me of Alfa Romeo
Ich muss es auf deutsch schreiben: warum hört man in fast jedem Satz eine negative Tendenz??? Bei den anderen Reviews hört man das nicht, zumindest bei denen, die ich gesehen habe.

Hi everyone, I want to inform and warn you as an aggrieved consumer. DO NOT PREFER OPEL and İstoç REİS AUTO in Turkey. The car that I bought from İSTOÇ Reis AUTO "0-km" is damaged and painted. On the day I received my car, the headlights were not working. I was shocked and ı called the Opel service. This was a big record. Neither Opel Turkey nor Reis Auto accept this mistake. There are a lot of complaint about Reis auto. Opel Turkey can not do this mistake. Opel Turkey send me a evaluation form and until now there is no development . As a result, istoç agency is closed and I am still waiting for a solution from Opel. I think its not worth to give a lot of money to Opel. Because they are not responsible for their own mistakes.
I always have a feeling Thomas is a bit unfair to Opel. Personally I find the current generation of Opel Astra generally “just enough” in most ways. As opposed the so called premium cars, which in my opinion are getting a bit overladen with stuff you don’t really need.
I dont think I m unfair to Opel. Maybe you check out the facelift review: czcams.com/video/CVbzXg26Hj8/video.html
Autogefühl , Ok, fair enough. I watched the facelift review, and you really was reasonably fair this time. Good review also btw. 👍
"Irritating". Nice description for the rear door! Don't like it either.
+Rui Alves :)

the rear looks almost like the new bmw 1 series
+Khwezi Toni or the i30
+Khwezi Toni or the giulietta
+simon199418 true hey
looks like the car cries for legroom. your knees are so much higher than your bottom.
35 mpg on motorway, not that economic.

Great video 👍 Iv got some vids of launch control on this model check my short vids to see how it works 😉
the interior looks really boring and cheap. I even like the style of astra J's more then this one.
Well, it's the basic model, i believe, so maybe the interior improves with the 150 and 200 hp versions.
Personally I really like the design language used by Opel since the H Astra. Sure, interior quality was never up to Golf standards but nevertheless, the cars were really solid. This new Astra looks more like an iteration of the previous generation which is a VW-like approach :) One thing that I'm really against of is the use of that glossy/piano black plastics. Those will scratch after cleaning them for the first time. Horrible choice.
As you said, mediocre car
Renault did better job with Megane :O
+petrovicdruid we ll test the Megane in 2 days!
+Autogefühl thats great! I cant wait, Talisman as well. You are the best and I watch almost every car channel on youtube! The Best!
+petrovicdruid we ll test Talisman as well! Have you already seen the recent previews? czcams.com/video/kLggKIIT718/video.html czcams.com/video/Al_y0TV9NoM/video.html czcams.com/video/JC5lS_hoClQ/video.html
astra j looks much better outside
Yes, the K looks older than the J.
Opel is making fool
of us buyers. They build rerar watts linkage on models, that suppose to make
reviews at jounalist. After good rewievs that they are removing watts linkage
from all models except 1,6 turbo and 1,6 160KM dti. So if you made test drive on
jour local diler, and you are satisfied with drivig experience, you will be
disappointed after buying and getting new astra. They are literally making full
of us.
Does he like to complain over things that are perfectly fine all the time ???
No, just on Sundays
+Autogefühl then this was a Sunday I'm assuming ?
If you watched the review, you'd know the day because it was an integral part of the OnStar test - wasnt Sunday though ;)
+Autogefühl I really wouldn't know the day as it doesn't say on my side of the screen. I just feel you or who ever that was in the video was complaining over the little things and in actual fact was nothing wrong with it or anything to complain about.
In Autogefühl we pay attention to details, that's what our viewers are appreciating. I know though that Opel drivers/owners are very sensitive to when you dont say their car is perfect, dunno why though

Your accent is outstandingly terrible... but anyways, I enjoyed watching it. Keep it up!
