Vauxhall Astra Turns On The Heat

The Astra exhibits the same quality as the Insignia which was rated European car of the year. The Astra comes with all the same brilliance and is more compact, it is a great vehicle. It comes in a variety of engines to choose and there seems to be something to suit everyone. Some of them are for the middle class buyers and others more suited to those looking for style at a cheaper cost. The top of the range Vauxhall Astra engines are the 1.4 L turbodiesel and the 2.0 L diesel in Sri trim. As the Astra has got better and better the price has also got higher and higher. It is an ever improving vehicle. If you look around you can get your hands on a good secondhand example for around £20,000 keeping it within the reach.

The latest model is the biggest in the range and definitely the longest in comparison to its rivals. Its 1.5 metres tall and the only car that has beaten it when it comes to width, is the Ford Focus. The Astra has been designed this time around keeping one thing in mind; style. Where it was once dull it is now trendy and sculpted. The engine has a low position which ...
... is very good for safety reasons. The front pedestrian safety has been taken into account and it's a great position for weight distribution. It comes with 17 inch alloy wheels as standard and 18 and 19 inch alloys wheels are optional, but the best suited are the 17inch ones that give it a stylish look.

A ring that offers chrome like effect around the side gives an extra sense of class and is offered on every entry level model. The latest Vauxhall Astra is really impressive as its design has been changed. The cabin has enough space to contend with the cars that are even a class above. The back seats are comfortable enough for those long journeys. If you need space then this is a good option. Once you sit inside you understand why it's unnecessary looking for a bigger car. A 500 litre boot and enough storage slots around the car give plenty of reasons to go for Astra. The 1.4L turbodiesel engine was tested and gave excellent results. There has been improvement in the power and speed with a speed of 0-60mph achieved in just 9.0 seconds.

This is a huge change from the last model. The latest version can give run for their money to other rivals in its class. It has been awarded five-star Euro NCAP rating making it a strong and reliable family choice. All trim levels come equipped with electronic stability control, six airbags and active head restraints. Xenon headlamps are optional. You get piece of mind when you buy Astra as it comes with 100,000 miles warranty. Vauxhall Astra engines are lackluster, the prices are too high and the steering is lifeless. However, its attractive and sleek styling, classy cabin and refinement make it a worthy and refined family hatchback.
