Having purchased a 6 month old Astra Sxi in June last year I was excited. And having driven it for nearly 18 months I have to say that I'm very impressed!
Mine is black and has the silve/chrome trim (3 door), it looks really nice and loads of people (especially females!) have said so! It's quick and very reliable, not one problem with it so far touch wood. The handling is so good compared to similar cars of its class. I drive all kinds of cars at work everyday, Focus', escorts, fiestas,Honda Accords and I have to say that the Astra is far better than the others. Also being a 3 door car you might think that the rear seat passengers might struggle for room, many of my friends are well over 6 foot and none of them have a problem! The interior is very sporty with sports seats and white dials.
Only one gripe, the gear change is just so harsh! I'm an advanced driver (oh 'ark at me!) and I consider myself to be a good driver. And its not just my car that does it because all those at work are the same. And also my brother works in the motor trade and has the exact same complaint.
But all in all, its reliable, economical, reasonably priced and has a sporty appearance........
If you're thinking about it, just buy it!!!!!
