In such a competitive class can the Vauxhall Astra keep up with the likes of the ultra popular Volkswagen Golf or Ford Focus? Watch our full review and find out what Mat thinks, you might be pleasantly surprised by this hatchback.

Opel astra and holden astra
Anyone who has the 1.4 turbo 150bhp
what mpg are you getting?
it looks like it comes from 2005
I don’t have a driving license, i don’t even like cars that much. I just watch all these videos because this guy is so damn funny!
Inside it is so much WORSE than Astra J.
Good car
You’ve got to be kidding me. This is the worst car for the UK because it is too wide for the roads there. From the drivers point of view it is too difficult to see how far the sides of the car protrude out because the car is shaped rounded where the side windows don’t hang out as far as the side of the doors do giving a false impression of how much room you have to work with when driving down narrow roads
Nice looking motor. And who really cares about a rear centre arm rest. I have never used one when it’s been there. So not really anything worth whinging about.
The Shifter looks like one of an Automatic transmission
I surprised by your review, I have just driven one of these and it’s crap. Really crap, nowhere near Focus or Golf standards
Good review mate! I bought mid year 2018 release of this car recently. It’s s real beauty to drive and own – Agree and recommend buying one higher spec version than base which comes with AEB, lane assist, etc. 10/10 this car. Opel have taken things up a few notch with this! Impressed!
Dunno what it is about Vauxhall, but I’ve never wanted to own one. Always been a Ford guy.
Sure Fords are some of the dullest cars to sit in but they’ve always been satisfying to drive, whereas Vauxhalls seem unrelentingly dull.
I like Mat very much, funny and clever guy, but he is a dick sometimes.
Love the video!! Definitely a new fan… you might like one of my other favorite channels – keepit1oo
It’s a vauxhall, as soon as the warranty is up it will start falling to bits.
Skip to 1:17 if you want to see Mat’s luscious bulge
OPEL!
Opel Zafira?
Aliens will not be able to drive this because all their cars rely on Auto-Mind mind-based control technology which unfortunately the Astra does not yet support.
Does this car have Watt’s link rear suspension or not?
Mk 5 best astra ever
high performance biturbo…with 160 horsepower
Calling the Astra bland and boring when you don’t even do 720p or 1080p videos in this day and age. The car is more technically advanced than your video skills 🙂 And a 7 min video is NOT in depth. Sheesh.
looool 5:43 … and the next 7secs
such a long and ugly car
Actually the interior space is terrible. I was one of the three people sitting In the back seats, and it was a nightmare. We were sitting angled weirdly, cut there wasn’t nearly enough room. And it feel claustrophobic inside. Even when there’s only two people in the back.
I love my new model.
Accidents are not humorous you fucking cretin
This new Astra looks fantastic. Definitely going to be considering it.
1- Opel Astra
2- Mazda 3
3- VW Golf
4-Ford focus
Better than half of this compact cars in the States
throw out that junk and get a car
I saw the stars. I wondered what they were for
Shite review. “Buy the 1.4 petrol. Job done” wtf?
So are we going right ahead and buy it or shortlist this thing?
I wonder if the Astra contacts the emergency services when it bursts into flames like the rest of the Vauxhall range.
The golf has awful headroom, what are you on?
I’m looking to buy my first car I’ve been looking at a Vauxhall Astra 2008 at a used car dealership near me for £2500, would you recommend it? Thanks
What car is better for you? Renault megane 1.2 tce 130 ps or Vauxhall astra 1.400 150 ps. Thanks 🙂

Why do they give you the most boring colour possible? This car would probably look great in solid red or black – but this metallic blue is awful
