Real MPG: Vauxhall Astra (2004 - 2009)

Number of RealMPGs submitted

23–62

Real MPG

41.1

Average

Sharp looks, comfortable motorway cruiser, responsive and economical engines, durable interior materials, lots on the second hand market.

Drab and poorly laid out dash, awkward to access boot, failed waterpump can throw off the timing belt on 1.9 CDTI models after just 40k miles, premature wear on front suspension bushes.
