Vauxhall Astra GTC Coupe (2011 - 2018) 1.4T 16V (140bhp) SRi 3d Owner Review

Fuel consumption not as good as published figures. Large doors make it difficult to get in or out of the car when parked in a tight space. Large A pillars restrict visibility when turning out of a T-junction. Good reliable car with good performance from turbo charged engine. Drives and handles well. This car delivers a sporty and sure footed ride. Comfortable seating in front and back. The car is well built with a solid feel. One of the best looking cars on the road, a real head turner! Only issues have been a front shock strut replacement, coolant tank split and thermostat failed. All replaced with no fuss by Vauxhall main dealer. DAB radio works well. Auto headlights work well, though main beam auto dip can be slow to react at times. No issues with auto wipers. Good heater and windscreen dentist function works well. 19 inch tyres can be difficult to obtain due limited stock at most tyre dealers and can be expensive to replace. Overall a good car, fun to drive, reasonable ownership costs with a real ‘feel good’ factor.
