Vauxhall Astra (2009 - 2015)
ES 1.6 16v 5dr Hatchback
One for the kids.
V.easy car to drive. Good handling
Steering is far too light at low speed. Perfect for parking not when negioating narrow residential traffic filled streets one flick at low speed and you can hit oncoming cars.
Sweeping steep windscreen column curtails visibility, they have put piece of glass in the triangle between bonet and column but this is no use. Unless you drive with head on dashboard.
The central column with the screen for info etc and plasticky vauxhall sign on steering wheel are tacky or playschool
Seems underpowered on motorway and struggles. I actually had to double check it was a 1.6 I thought I was driving a 1.3L car.
Great idea they have put airvents on door so front side windows do not mist up, in other cars have to have heating on high or constantly open windows. Well done Vauxhall for this simple idea.
