Vauxhall New Astra SXi 1.4i 16v

Advantages: Good Looking and Great Drive
Disadvantages: ------

...The vauxhall astra apart from its stunning looks is a great car to drive. I have the 3 door astra which is slightly better looking than the 5 door. I have had the car for a year now and have found nothing rong with it as of yet, nothing has gone rond and have not found any fault to the car what so-ever, I have the 1.4i sxi which is the smallest engine available for the car but is still pretty powerfull and can get you from "A" to "B" pretty quikly, interior is very spacious and very nicely designed, very large boot which is great. Reading other reviews people have made comments about the gear box personaly i havent found any problem with it what so ever! Also this car comes with a ipod conection as standard all that you will need to buy is a small wire to connect the ipod which connects to the earphone hole.... Read review

Advantages: Excellent engine, smooth gear box, Equipment level
Disadvantages: Seat belt warning alarm

...I have been a vauxhall customer for the last 9 years now. It all started with the last Astra shape to a Corsa Sxi to my current car, the new Astra Club. I was very happy with the old Astra, but was tempted by the equipment levels of the Corsa Sxi. I owned the corsa for 3 years and was looking forward to a change.

Exterior: The roof slopes down towards the back of the car, making the overall shape of the car appealing. The lights are a new move for Vauxhall, they make the car stand out in the crowd. The door handles are a move away from the Vauxhall standard, more of a VW style. Interia: Nice detailing throughout the car. I was very impressed with the level of equipment, much more to play with than the Corsa. All the usuals... Read review

...Test Model Vauxhall Astra 1.6 16v SXI Reg no: BF55 FYP UK model RHD Mileage 5912 Actual 0-60: 9.6 Printed max speed: 115 mph Printed economy: 32.8mpg urban Actual economy: 25mpg The new generation Astra has gone through a complete revamp since its ageing predecessor, both externally and internally there are very few features kept from the previous shape. The main improvement overall is the driving experience which has been improved by 80%. The New Astra is a beautiful looking car in sport hatch form and in 5 door form (like the one I tested) is still sporty looking, especially with alloys and front spot lights. As mentioned before the similarities between the previous Astra and the new generation one is minimal, Vauxhall choosing more sporty and dramatic lines to complement the cars shape. Have to say I am no big fan of Vauxhall... Read review
