Vauxhall Astra (Opel Astra) review - Carbuyer

The Vauxhall Astra was never a class-leader. It always used to lose out to popular alternatives such as the brilliant Ford Focus and the perennial Volkswagen Golf. But this latest iteration of the model is so much better than it used to be, that its fortunes might be about to change. We're really impressed with the way the Astra drives, the immense practicality of the passenger compartment and the boot, and even the way it looks. We at Carbuyer reckon the 2015 Vauxhall Astra might be about to overtake the competition and become the very best in its category.
