Apr 5, 2019 · Unlike the car’s steering, which we’ll come to, the Astra’s clutch pedal feels light and a little vague in the way it manages the driveline. The gearlever’s shift quality is likewise a bit ...

The Vauxhall Astra is a familiar family five-door that often seems to fly under the radar by virtue of its rather ordinary size, purpose, price and positioning in the market. It is a traditional compact hatchback with space for five, that sits between the Corsa and the Insignia in Vauxhall’s range. With this version, Vauxhall has introduced a new s...
This Astra has been nipped and tucked, and is actually slightly smaller than its predecessor. It has shed weight, too, all cleverly without losing space inside the passenger area. It’s a desperately bland-looking design, though. It’s not that it lacks detail or shape, it’s just that the details and the shapes don’t really do a lot as a whole. If ba...
The interior tells a better tale than the bodywork, with a simple dashboard and centre console accented by a complimentary plastic full-width trim insert. A matching trim panel drops down the centre console. The entry-level seat upholstery is classy, with modest side bolsters on the base and back. Eight-way adjustable ‘Comfort’ seats certainly live...
Vauxhall has stepped up its game enormously in the technology stakes. All Astras have some kind of touchscreen infotainment centrepiece at least seven inches across, with the better unit on certain trim levels measuring eight inches. The basic one covers almost all the bases, though, with DAB radio alongside traditional AM and FM reception. Bluetoo...
The difference between the least and most powerful engines is stark. A 1.4-litre 100hp petrol shared with the Corsa and Adam is all but useless outside of city streets. The 105hp turbocharged 1.0-litre three-cylinder is much better for this car, with ample torque to get its mass moving. Then there’s a 1.4-litre turbo that trades efficiency for extr...
Colours Solid Royal Blue is the free colour choice, but it does the car’s design no favours. For £285 Vauxhall offers flat Lava Red and Summit White, or for £555 you can have one of a series of muted metallics. Unfortunately they are all terribly dull colours, leaving Lava Red and the solitary pearlescent shade, Emerald Green, as by far the best co...
Forget the cheapest 1.4 petrol, because it needs to be worked too hard and fuel economy suffers badly. The 1.0 turbo is the first adequate engine, with enough hustle for urban driving and good fuel economy if you take it easy. Some 62.8mpg is the official figure, but aiming for a maximum average of 52mpg is more like it. The best for running costs ...
The Astra’s list prices seem strangely expensive, treading into territory where its rivals have to include SUVs as well as traditional hatchbacks. In fact, there are compact SUVs like the Suzuki Vitara that have equal or greater space and equipment, with the higher driving position that many people prefer, for less money. Dealer discounts and nearl...

This seventh generation Vauxhall Astra, launched in 2015, was smarter, lighter, cleverer and more efficient. Once merely an ordinary family hatch, this model line revitalised itself in this 'K-Series' form. Here we look at earlier versions of this design from the used car buyer's perspective.
