VAUXHALL ASTRA - AFTER 115,000 MILES REVIEW 

My wifes got a 2007 Astra Elite 1.8, with 110k on the clock. It actually drives like its still brand new. They seem to be built really well. Heated leather seats, and the Opera sound system is really loud !.

One of the prettiest hatchbacks of all time.

My 2006 Astra SRi 1.9 CDTi 150 with 153k miles still drives absolutely perfectly. Great cars. This model was where Vauxhall really left behind their crap quality reputation. Think of the VW Golf Mk5 that came out the same year as this Astra H; the Mk5 Golfs are absolute rust buckets (on all arches) with lots of problems with injectors on the diesels. Now have a look at Astra H's on the road - no rust and 1000s of them are still running perfectly.

I bought an 07, 3 door with 90k miles on. I have done a few bits and bobs like wheel bearings and a service and I absolutely love it. I'm doing a bit of sound too now. Mine is totally stock What a gem.

I have an opel astra GTC H with 3ton Kilometer. Thats much. I had the engine and clutch replaced myself and the car feels and drives like new. Great cars

I have the ecotech 1.6 petrol 5door with 80k miles on the clock , the engine is almost factory clean, runs spot on. It'll pull 80mph down the motorway effortlessly so have to keep an eye on that speedo! Talking about speed mine only does 100mph witch i find greatly strange! It pulls really well right upto 100mph but then instantly hits a wall. Anyone else find this?? Could be electronically limited perhaps, Its a well built car for the money mine is standard but recently fitted a jvc stereo and omg the audio is better than the standard cd30 head unit. I think i got real lucky with this car purchase as i brought it second hand for £450, and i was worried that their would be something wrong , but everything checked out 🙏 and my interior is mint!!! I've owned many cars since i passed my test , and this astra is the best one I've owned so far. I count my blessings with this car considering how many second hand cars with so many issues and mine has litrally none! 👍

My son had a 2005 1.6 four door breeze he owned it from new when he sold it had 160.000 on the clock it was starting to run ruff I put this down to only have it serviced every two years I now own a used 2015 1.6 diesel Astra J which I very happy with it has covered 52 thousand miles now the biggest thing I like is the average mpg of 58 mpg and 76 in sixth on the motorway my car gets serviced when the computer tells me so

American here. I find these Astra H models in all the body styles to be beautiful, sharp cars.

The rectangular indicator stalk are designed so that you can use a single finger to push them forward and backward, on a round stalk it is impossible. The high beams are changed by pushing the lever forwards for high beams and backwards for dipped beams, that way you never have to look at the instruments to know which light you are driving on. This requires a flat surface so that the finger does not slip off.

I have a 2007 Astra 1.8 with 250,000 km, still drives better than most cards I tried!

Seems like an underrated car, it's crazy cheap used (here in France) has the premium / sport look. The interior is a bit of a letdown IMO especially when compared to its exterior design, it's okay, deutsche designs have always been "uber serious" anyways. Heard diesel engines has loads of issues and could potentially explain the low price on the used market. Think I'm gonna grab myself one of these, from 1600€ to 3500€, there are a variety to choose from

I agree with the point on reversing visibility and the indicator storks I’m glad it’s not only me. The other thing that could of been better is the functioning of the gear box but I do love my 2010 SRI 1.6 3Door 🔥

Sweet I have a 05 model 1.4 with over 240,000km drives like brand new

In latinamerica had come as chevrolet, that vauxhall/opel, Astra, when Opel, since 1982, works with Vauxhall in UK, it used to work with GM and Chevrolet, since 1997, the Chevrolet Astra CD, as we know here in LATAM, it was very popular, specially in Brasil, Argentina, Colombia, it was a good car, good devices, it had worked well, it used to be a popular car, here.

I have a 16 plate with 100k and it drives like it did straight out the factory

Is there a usb or way to connect your phone for music? And is the sound system good?

Selling my 1.6 5door the one with the body kit on.. and I'm really sad to see it go. I've looked after it and it has definitely been a good and very cheap car to own. I did just want to put z20let in it but gf not into that😪

How much fuel does this opel use? What is its fuel consumption?

I’m wanting to buy a 2006 Astra 1.4 sxi with 220km on the clock and I might just do it because of this video !

Shall we talk about the interior trim rattles. Chocolate M32 gearbox and the horrendous clutch judder that plagues these cars. I have one and I love it but I'm just waiting for my flywheel to self destruct and cost me a fucking fortune

Thank you Liam

Loving the reviews

How do you check the engine temperature on these as they don't have a gauge on the instrument panel?

Just got the 06 model 3d 1.6 hatchback

Am looking to buy one, but an automatic variant. How reliable is it?

Does it have an aux input in the car?

Great cars

Vauxhall zafira b got a stopwatch
