What do you think of the Astra Mk5? In fairness, this is the 5 door version - the 3 door one is supposed to be much nicer but will not be around for ages.![]()
I Like it
I think it will grow on me
Just another mid size hatch
I don't like it

Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?
looks like the megan!
Looks far better than a Megane! Can anyone 'shop' it into a 3 dr style?? Quite like the wheels...
Well, it was just a thought.....
your right it does look like a megane

Since turning 30 I've become a grumpy old f*rt, for this I apologise
its **** on wheels
I saw the concept version in the paper ages ago and it looked far better than the final product... I know they always do!
looks like most new hatches, comparable to the almera too
a drop and some wider rubber should make it look just right
Looks a bit like the new VW Golf.
The new astra loks ok and i think as it is new the shape will grow on me! lets look forward to the GSi version?![]()
no different. looks like another almera, mazda3, new shape golf, even the new tigra that is coming out in the summer looks exactly the same but with a soft roof and smaller......
now it's difficult to tell what car is what. confused.......
i am tempted to say that this car may have brill features but looks from what i can see, boring...
happy enough with my mk4 astraat least it doesn't look like any other car...
i dont like it i think it looks to jap. sort of almera vibe going on there
it is terrible.
what has happend to new cars these days ('normal' cars I mean not TVR or whatever)? they have no character at all.
boring.
it is different, but i spose it could be mistaken for a hyundai or somitit dont look like a fookas (thank god) its different from a golf, and its very different from the 'normal' astra. a 3.2 v6 gsi version would be soooo cool, monster brakes and mental styling with all the toys... now thats an astra!

The photo shopped 3 door doesn't look too bad or in my mind with a set of 18's and lowered a lot it does.
Don't like that they keep making cars arches bigger and bigger! i mean back in the day people who could actually fit 17's on their car were nuts for paying the cash for them and having to roll the crap out of their arches to do it!
Now my astra takes 17's and they look tiny, i'm going to have to buy spacers and drop the car 40 just so they look at least a little bit big!
And the MK5 i'm hearing comes with 18's as an option! so does the net vectra. This is going to be america soon where everyone has 22inch wheels on corsa sized cars - i'm not a fan of HUGE wheels
It will be virtually unchangeable electronics too according to T.V their diagram speaks of data chanels running from ECU around the car, i'm guessing this is a new incarnation of the can-bus loom?
And whats with chrome making a come back its s0o0 bad!
The photoshop of the 3door is growing on me the 5 door isnt!

Don't like it, looks like a megane, seen two drivin around up here and thort they were meganes until I seen the badges on the grille. Think I will stick with my coupe!
Weird shape, whats with the roof going up? I hate the clusters too.... Show me another...
not doing it for me
- would like to see a SXI version, they always seem raise an eyebrow at least!

Starting to really hate it now...

IT doesnt look to bad but there aint nothing that aint been done before, looks a bit 'normal' to me... the backend looks like a toyota yaris!
I hate it but that goes for a lot of new cars now, i much prefer the classic mk1's & mk2's in models as the have loads of character and individulality (think thats how its spelt).
New cars nowa days all look the same to me thay should bring back the classics likes of Firenza,Chevette,Manta,Mk1 Astra,etc......Now these where fun cars to drive![]()
I'll stick to the GTE astra... thanks vauxhall, but no thanks.
The electronics and other toys are supposed to be fantastic, but the car looks dull. Even the black and white picture is so-so... wheres the attitude, the grunt and the "feck-you" look? bland, dull, boring... revive the Mk2 tweek the handling, add in the electronics and then you've got an astra!
looks like every other car on the road....
true! looks like very brand new car
The more you hold me down, the more I'll press on
i went to a launch at the vaux factory in e,port
and they look a lot better in the flesh they look brill from the front
the vxr version is going to be a stormer (cossie beater)![]()
