Astra has no dsg equivalent option therefore not really a rival to to many gti owners!

Looks ok but £24k for a diesel Astra!!! Wtf has the world come to.


Jim

I think it looks OK too, but agree, £24k sounds a lot of money for a diesel Astra. But then who pays list price for a new Vauxhall?

Broadspeed are quoting a discount of over £6k off the list price for the 163 bhp (diesel) version bringing the price down to around £16.6k. If you're able to get a similar discount off the higher performance, twin turbo version, then it sounds good value at £17.6k - £18k.

Can I just say that this isn't exactly a standard Astra. I reckon it looks pretty nice and with just under 200bhp from a Bi-turbo diesel it's certainly got some go.

How much would the equivalent GTD be with 25bhp less?

Agree with what your saying but part of it is the name, the costs wont be what it says. Astras even brand new are a lot cheaper than the list price, with regards to a VW the build quality compared to a Vauxhall is night and day. My previous car was a Vauxhall.

I wouldn't have another Vauxhall, the last one I had was very unreliable broke down too many times  :sad:

FYI I had an email from our local Skoda garage to say that the Mrs Yeti has been found after a 7 month search (ordered early Dec 2011) - they have her in captivity and she's on here way to the UK, expecting her to land at the local Skoda dealer in the next two weeks.

Now do we wait for the new reg?
