The Vauxhall Astra blends value with good ride comfort, tidy handling and adequate performance, but struggles to trouble the best family cars in other areas. If you do buy one, we recommend going for the 1.2-litre 130 petrol engine and mid-spec GS trim.
This mid-spec trim is also our chosen trim (except for the Astra Electric). It comes with adaptive cruise control, more comfortable seats, keyless entry and start, a 360-degree parking camera, and a heated steering wheel and front seats.
At What Car?, we believe that no one should overpay for their new car, which is why we partnered with Autotrader to bring the biggest selection of discounted new cars available in the UK
