I would like to compare the abovementioned models. 1) Pricing 2) FC 3) Handling 4) Size 5) Appearance 6) Maintenance Cost like spare parts. I like both the car design especially Opel Astra 1.6 Twinport. Was considering of Toyota Altis and my friend strongly reccomend on Ford Focus in terms of handling. The pricing is higher than Altis if I'm not wrong. But how much higher? Astra got all the cost rebate, free insurance, etc. So in the end not sure of the selling price. Too confused. Can anyone enlightened me on the pricing as well as commend on the cars. Thks alot.

Want your Peugeot 308 a bit more German? Enter the all-new Astra. source: https://www.motor1.com/news/519625/2022-opel-astra-specs-photos/ One of the oldest cars in Europe's hugely competitive compact segment is switching to the next generation, bringing a completely new design inside and out along with overhauled underpinnings. Once again assembled at home in Rüsselsheim, the sixth iteration of Opel's popular Astra has all the ingredients to go up against the giants in this class: Golf, Focus, Megane, and the Octavia. It also has to do battle with the mechanically related Peugeot 308, with the two sharing the EMP2 platform as both brands are part of Stellantis – the world's fourth-largest car manufacturer. Even though their bones are quite similar, the designers have done a great job at differentiating the two compact hatchbacks. The French version takes a bolder approach whereas its German cousin plays it safe with a cleaner appearance. Let's talk size. The new Astra has been stretched by four millimeters (0.15 inches) over the outgoing generation and is now 4,374 mm (172.1 in) long. Even though the overall length has barely changed, the wheelbase has been stretched significantly by 13 mm (0.5 in) to 2,675 mm (105.3 in) by shortening the front overhang. Width has increased quite a bit, at 1,860 mm (73.2 in) or about 51 mm (2 in) more than before. Opel goes as far as to say the hatchback has "coupe-like" lines, although some will beg to differ. A new Astra GTC would be nice, but given the current demand for three-door hatches, we wouldn't necessarily count on it. The car's increased footprint pays dividends in terms of cargo capacity on the adjustable load floor as it has grown by 52 liters (1.83 cubic feet) to 422 liters (14.9 cu ft) with the rear seats in place. Much like the exterior, the cabin is a vast departure from the Astra K by adopting the less-is-more approach with few conventional buttons. You still have shortcuts for often-used functions, but most of the settings are accessed through the 10-inch touchscreen of the infotainment system. To its left, a fully digital instrument cluster has the same size. As you would expect from a totally new car, Opel's new C-segment hatchback is brimming with tech. It gets the matrix LED technology from the flagship Insignia, with no fewer than 84 light-emitting diodes per headlight cluster. Cruise control with stop & go is available, as are a head-up display and a 360-degree camera. Opel doesn't go too deep with details about the powertrains, but you can imagine these will be quite similar to those of the new Peugeot 308. The German brand does confirm the 2022 Astra will be available with a choice of gasoline and diesel units with output varying from 110 hp (81 kW) to 225 hp (165 kW). For the very first time, a plug-in hybrid setup will be available and will come in two configurations. Depending on the powertrain, six-speed manual and eight-speed automatic transmissions will be offered. The order books will open this fall and the first customer deliveries are scheduled to take place in early 2022. Opel has already confirmed there will be a new wagon once again for those in need of a bigger cargo area. Expect the estate variant to be revealed in the coming months. While it would make sense for the company to have both body styles on display in September at the IAA in Munich, Opel has announced it will not attend the show this year. As a final note, it's worth mentioning this will be the final Astra with combustion engines in Europe considering Opel has vowed to go EV-only on the Old Continent by 2028. -
http://www.carbuyer.co.uk/reviews/vauxhall/astra/hatchback/review Heard from my Opel SE that the Astra 2016 is here already. Anyone test driven already? Can the 1.0L turbo version make it? I'm a little bit skeptical about the power myself. Hoping to get some advice from the gurus around

Hi Guys, I find Astra GTC is quite funky and energetic but Golf 1.4 TSI is popular among buyers. Under the boot, GTC churns out less 20 horeses than its counterpart Golf 1.4 TSI. There are quite a number of Golfs on the road but find that Astra GTC is hard to spot on. What are your opinions on these 2 cars? Would like to hear pros and cons from serious ownership's view.

Opel has just announced that it will be replacing the core of its petrol and diesel engines within the next year with three brand new engine families. For the time being, Opel has revealed details on one engine family which is a 1.6L turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline unit with direct injection and start/stop technologies. Opel says the new SIDI (Spark Ignition Direct Injection) ECOTEC petrol unit will be offered across several car lines in various states of tune with the most potent version delivering 197hp at 4,700rpm and 300Nm from as low as 1,700rpm. This version produces more torque than Ford

Hi members, Really keen on this machine and have test drove it. The automatic transmission cannot make it though. It's really jerky when it shifts, especially if you keep your feet on the accelerator . But the Easytronic is really cool and fun. Features are indeed comprehensive as well. My concerns: 1) Price - SGD 83K (Too high) 2) Maintenance - with digital equipment all over the car, quite worry about the servicing or replacement. Their wiper blades are proprietary as well. 3) Resale value? Will there be any? 4) Reliability Has anyone bought this car yet? Comments please. Thanks in advance.

Hi Bros @ MCF This is my 1st post at MCF so just thought of sharing a very nice car which i've viewed late last month. Its the new Opel Astra 1.6Turbo with 180bhp. I've taken some pics so decided to share with the bros here! For more images and specs you can visit this link http://www.opelmicrosites.com/astra/index.html I manged to view the car while it was being sent to LTA for homoglation. SE quoted me $118,500 pre-launch price And $125,000 launch price (November), it was just too steep for my liking as it does not coroborate with current mkt trends for say VW Golf TSI & Scirocco. I would have bite had they sold it ard $100-$108 grand but well maybe the prices may drop during launch? Do give your feedback as to whether it is a good offer as currently i'ved put it on the back burner somehow as there are a host of new models coming along etc Ford Mondeo/Focus Ecoboost models. It does comes with a host of goodies like built in bicycle rack at the rear license plate, flase or adjustable boot floor, bluetooth HU with LCD display, Satellite Radio. Just to name a few different things that can't be found on other rides. But build quality wise IMHO still not on par with VW. But its better than a Bravo or Octavia or any other Jap makes in the same Category. FYI this is Mr Karsono Kwee's car, i really liked the number plate lol! Its a real sneak peek as this car was still parked at the warehouse, after juz landed from port.

Opel has pulled the curtains off the new 2011 Opel Astra Sports Tourer, ahead of a planned public debut at the Paris Motor Show in October. Along with the car, Opel is introducing a new 1.4-liter turbocharged petrol engine that produces either 118 horsepower or 138 horsepower. Eight different petrol and diesel engines will be available on the Sports Tourer. At the top of the diesel lineup is a 2.0-liter CDTI unit that delivers 158 hp and up to 380Nm of torque when the overboost function is enabled. Transmission options include a six speed manual and a six speed automatic gearbox. Cars with the manual transmission will get an indicator light that inform the driver of the most fuel efficient shift points. Start/Stop will also be used across the range to further aide fuel economy. Behind the C-pillar, the car has a roofline that is subtly tapered. This allows the car to maintain cargo space of 1,550 liters. With the rear seats down, the load length of the cargo area is a full 1,835mm, longer than the entire wheelbase of the Smart ForTwo. The Astra Sports Tourer is meant to share some of the same design features as the Opel Insignia.

According to a recent report, the Opel Astra OPC / Vauxhall Astra VXR will finally become a legitimate competitor to the Ford Focus RS. While details are limited, Autocar is reporting the high performance Astra will feature a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with 300 hp. If they are correct, the new engine will boast 63 hp more than its predecessor. Unlike the Insignia OPC / VXR, the Astra will continue to be front-wheel driven. This means GM will likely equip the car with an electronic differential to help alleviate torque steer. Expected to go on sale in late 2011, the hot hatch will likely wear an aggressive body kit with revised bumpers, flared wheel arches, and a roof-mounted spoiler.

This is the new Buick Excelle GT sedan that is set to go on sale in China on 23 June 10. Marketing positioning places it as a high-end mid-size car with very high build, comfort and engine quality. Styled along the lines of the Buick LaCrosse sedan, the Excelle GT is based on the all-new Opel/ Vauxhall Astra platform. The exterior is characterised by Buick's waterfall front grille, distinctive headlights, porthole vents on the bonnet and eye-catching taillights. The interior shows very strong links with the new Astra and roominess comes courtesy of a 2,685mm wheelbase. It is the engine compartment where things get interesting. Engine options include the 1.8-litre Eco Smart with 138bhp and 175Nm of torque, and a more powerful 1.6-litre turbo. The latter makes 181 bhp and 235Nm of maximum torque. It puts many engines of larger capacity to shame and I am sure many would like to see this powerplant in some GM models in Singapore. The new Opel Astra and Chevrolet Cruze could be the likely candidates. Let

Take a look at the all new Astra-J Picture linked from http://www.autospies.com/images/uploads/la...0616-110307.jpg Quote : ( http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/autoexpr...atches_out.html New Astra hatches out Mission impossible is about to begin for Vauxhall! The firm's designers are already well on the way to creating the next-generation Astra, which will have one key objective - to beat Ford's Focus. By Chris Thorp 30th May 2006 In this week's mag Auto Express can exclusively reveal pictures, which show the all-new compact family hatch that will challenge its arch rival with a fresh face and the latest technology. The radical approach which saw the current Astra given a more distinctive shape hasn't been forgotten. However, the man behind the styling has been replaced. Design expert Martin Smith oversaw the car's development before switching to Ford in July 2004, and has been superseded by Bryan Nesbitt. Having already signed off the Antara SUV, the stylist is keen to make a mark in other sectors. Vauxhall's new hatch shares its front-end looks with the 4x4, while retaining the sleek appearance of the current Astra. Under the skin, the newcomer is based on General Motors' latest platform, codenamed Delta. Auto Express's spies have already caught a top-secret test mule out developing underpinnings for several fresh models. Despite the Vectra body, the basic architecture will be used on the all-new Astra. This model will be front-wheel drive, and feature Vauxhall's latest chassis technology. While the existing hatch is dynamically competent, its successor will be a serious driver's car. Most of the development work will be carried out by Opel in Germany, but Vauxhall will then add some refinements to make UK-spec cars ready for Britain's roads. Engines will be carried over from the current Astra, with a few additions. Mid-spec models will inherit the 1.7-litre turbo petrol unit from the all-new Corsa VXR, while work is underway on a new compact diesel. Maximising efficiency is crucial, and General Motors is also rumoured to be developing a motor similar to Volkswagen's TSI unit, which uses both a turbo and supercharger. What's more, the Astra could be one of the first mainstream cars in its class to feature hybrid power. General Motors has been working with Mercedes and BMW to develop a new hi-tech, two-mode, CVT gearbox intended specifically for models running both petrol and electric motors. As with the current car, the all-new Astra will get a firebreathing VXR-badged flagship. Its unique selling point is its high power output, so it is likely to better the forthcoming 250bhp Mazda 3 MPS, and offer even faster acceleration. While the VXR will be available with only three doors, five-door, coup

Opel introduces the Astra 4 door sedan... Wheelbase is identical to that of the Astra Estate instead of the hatchback. This is a good thing because the estate has a longer wheelbase than the hatchback, thus offers better rear legroom. But not sure if local dealer is bringing the sedan in... The sedan looks kind of big though.
