The Verdict
You should buy the Astra if: You're looking for a comprehensive and well-rounded family car with a choice of powertrains, a smart interior, comfortable ride, and generous standard equipment, and you can find a suitable deal.
Consider alternatives if: You prioritise a more engaging driving experience (consider a VW Golf or Mazda 3) or require class-leading practicality (consider a Seat Leon or Skoda Octavia).
Competitive Position: The Vauxhall Astra is a good, highly recommendable car, offering versatility and desirability. However, it operates in a highly competitive segment and, despite its strengths, lacks a unique selling point compared to some similarly talented rivals.

4.2 Overall rating
(52 reviews)The car is working great No issues, minor scratches expected, very clean inside Would recommend Happy as
I turned up they had pressure washed the engine, it was dry when I inspected before taking it for a test drive. When I drove off test drived got back it was smoking everywhere and the man tried to tell me it was spilt engine oil.... It was not!
I wanted to buy this car but I observed from my research that one of its issues is oil leakage which is either coming from its engine or gear box components. Its also not so cheap to fix as it cannot be ignored.
ive got astra 2.0 cdti elite 13 reg never had any problems withit in 6 years been a joy to own
The car is a good deal for the money. I like it
