Spaciousness and stability on the road are the main advantages of the Opel Astra. However, the 1.6 CDTi engine with 136 hp. could be quieter and livelier.
La Fifth generation of Opel Astra is one of seven candidates for the title Car of the Year 2016 and in our opinion has the best chance of receiving this prestigious award.

city
New Opel Astra it is 5 cm shorter than the previous series, but remains the same compact quite bulky (4,37 meters in length is a lot). Maneuvering also has to deal with the lack of body protection and the somewhat bulky C-pillars. Luckily I parktronic front and back are standard.
Rigid shock absorbers react too dry to pronounced bumps and engine - which offers an interesting boost above 2.000 rpm - it could be more ready at the starting point (9,6 seconds on "0-100").
Outside the city
It is difficult to find on the market a more pleasant “C segment” to drive than Opel Astra: very agile when cornering, also boasts Speed a six-speed manual with a very comfortable lever.
The German engineers did a very good job on the tuning (suspension tuning contributes to driving pleasure and puts comfort on the back burner), but steering it is not very communicative and we expected a longer shutter speed from the motor. A good starting point for future sports versions, which are destined to become a reference point in their segment.
