For 'new' Vauxhall Astra, read Pontiac Vibe:

I like it, especially the 3dr.
I would like it but the back end looks too much like a Toyota Yaris.
Well it does to me..![]()
Quit your jibba jabba!
The 3 door is much better looking than the fat bloated VW Golf!!!
3dr, gorgeous.
I think there is a lot of the astra mk3 3door in it, however a lot sharper. sure to be a massive success.
vauxhalls best were the mk1 and mk2 gte astra
although a 3 door gsi version would be v.nice!
agreed on that..i like the mk4, really dont like the mk5, it just shouts Megane to me...tis yuck!!Originally Posted by Scottish Nutter

For a heavier, taller and wider car the performance is still better than that of the MK4 (in my opinion!). Before I got my 2.0ltr Sri Turbo I had driven the 1.7CDTi (engine was flat as a fart) and the 1.8 Sri (very responsive especially with the Sport mode)
For all those who are doubting the new astra, take one for a test drive. And no, I don't work for Vauxhall!!
i have driven one. the back end has grown on me. but the ride is outstanding. Definately a class leader i would say. 3 door looks the business and the vxr looks like its going to be awesome. I was going to swap my mk4 for one but for the same spec car it was gonna cost me my car plus 10k and its not a 10k advancement on the mk4. think i'll save up for a mk4 gsi![]()

[B] hi... first time here so hope this all goes through ok... yeah the new Astra leaves a bit 2 be desired... But havent Astra's been gettin dull since the end of the Mk2? The Mk3 scrapped the grade, the Mk.4 only passed because of the coupe... lets hope an all singing all dancing GSi version saves this dull clone. Only good point i can se are the wheels Im first 2 admit Vaux have never made truly inspiring wheels so these are a great change... but even then, they are 5 stud. a 5 stud Astra? What were they thinking??
i like it
just like all vaxhalls its fab its good and eye catching![]()
I take it your got the car then? Whats it like then? front looks cool, like the lights,rear no... dash etc is sweet! bet its nice to drive. all new cars are..Originally Posted by Barnz
very nice
i think it looks very smart. But i drive a signum which i think looks like the new astra's big brother. I think the new astra will actually make the signum look less weird and more trendy. The vxr looks awsome and i would seriously consider one in a couple of years.
I dislike this anonymous car so much I'm about to lash out and buy a new Astra convertible 1.8 with as many bells and whistles as I can afford. I reckon these are on the way to being a classic.
Have you seen the video of the new hardtop cc? I wonder how much boot space is left? Here's a link
