Am seriously considering getting one and wondered whether they are good family cars. I am looking at a X reg and 51 Reg tomorrow.
Any info gratefully received. Thanks Blossomx

We've got an Astra estate as a company car and it's a great workhorse, never misses a beat. It's comfy, nice to drive and easily swallows up the luggage when we go away. Hth!

Thanks Suedonim

we have a bog std model. 52 reg. we both LOVE it - great sized boot; fits our bulky mamas and papas travel system + more stuff. i think it looks really nice too.

Thanks. All very positive so that's good news

I've had 4 Vauxhall Astras over the years - does that answer your question . The most recent one was a 52 reg. I've always found them to be reliable, easy to drive and, for the diesel ones anyway, they had great fuel economy. I would recommend them.

Blossomhill · 18/03/2005 20:11

Yes that's very reassuring thanks Tabitha

We have a P-reg, 5 door, diesel Astra and LOVE it! VERY easy to drive, terrific fuel economy, and good sixed boot.

Thanks everyone. Am now the proud owner of a 51 Reg Astra.
The only thing is that I am too scared to drive it as it is so big.
