Just seen my next door neighbours sister pull up in one. Lovely looking car. She tells me it's a 1 litre petrol turbo and it drives really well. Might consider one for wifey when I can get a year old one. Not paying VAT.

Plenty of new features too

I was looking at one in the dealers a week or two back. Most seem to be small engines ..... no 2.0 petrol. The one I choose on the Vauxhall website came to around £27000

£4500 of that is VAT.

Biggest engine thus far is the 1.6 CDTi.......I would expect that to change though.

And of course, nobody pays anywhere near list price! 

[STEMO]

This is the engine choice I'd go for, very reasonably price if you look at the standard options

The 1.4 Turbo is a much better drive. 

[Diamond Black Geezer]

Good looker, a well-resolved design. Nothing is too 'over the top' about it, I always thought the Mk III was a classy looking Astra, and this 7th Gen possibly the classiest-looking since then

By better you mean sportier, I take it. Wifey is not to be trusted, I'm afraid. When she had the MGZT she was an absolute lunatic.

[STEMO]

All of the options on the 1.0 as standard are not there on the 1.4

A pissy little one litre lump even with the aid of a turbo is going to be struggling in a car the size and weight of the new Astra.

I would be on the lookout for the last of the old model which will be heavily discounted and also looks better.

So....you admit it then......mine looks better than the new shape.

Yes, indeed.

A most handsome means of conveyance.

But obviously not in projectile vomit green.
