I drive different cars in my job as a car inspector/driver here in UK for 8 years now and I'm rarely impressed by any car today . Yesterday I drove this one and I think it's my new favourite hatchback. A CLASS MERCEDES is very overpriced for what it offers ,I personally don't like the A class interior design with those stupid round vents , the new Audi A3 has stupid exterior design with to many creases ,I don't like the new BMW 1 series design and I don't like the Golf's design anymore either and the facelift Focus interior it's just 🤮 Yesterday I drove this exact same model here in UK , full black and I'm just stunned by the quality overall ,everything you touch feels sturdy ,solid and good quality from the opening/closing of the door to the interior quality. Beautiful design inside and out and the interior it's just brilliant with very good ergonomics ,everything is lovely layed out ,the dash is slightly angled towards the driver ,I mean for a car in this class and price range ,nice drive train aswell and very good sound proofing with nice handling. I love it ,I'm really thinking about buying this . Nice clip 👌
unlocking by approach and locking by walking away (PKE: passive keyless entry) is a great feature that only few brands offer. probably because costs associated with patents.
@@SDADanCars I drive the 308, it's very nice but I'm unsure about the small steering wheel. I am driving the astra soon and if its like your review I will probably buy it!
Hi, May I ask what's the real life mpg in hybrid mode? (With full battery and empty battery, please) Also what would be a max real range if you start with full tank and battery?
What a good presentation of this new Opel Astra. Very well designed car by Opel. I got to know this car so well from this successful presentation. I already have one. It performs on the road and uphill, which exceeded my expectations. Climbing in third gear and sometimes asking for fourth gear. Very satisfied with it.
Hi is there a big difference between Astra and Corsa in terms of long motorway/highway journey ? Like 200 km ? I know that they are built on different platforms ( different rear suspension also ), but is it worth it to pay more for Astra, is it make much of a difference ?
I would say definitely yes. Corsa is shit. This car has great weight-to-power ratio, you can feel the power under you when accelerating. Very comfortable to drive. Plus it looks cool.
It’s a big upgrade for Vauxhall, and very smart looking car. It gives me the knight rider feel. Only problem you will have is getting hold of it. I have ordered this car last June and because of the micro chip shortage still haven’t had a delivery date. Very frustrating but I’m committed now so fingers crossed.
Love the look of the new Astra!! What a big change. The only question for me is the 1.2 turbo petrol 130ps engine, is it ok for power? Great in-depth video of the car, thank you. Subbed
The front of the car is a beauty, but the rear of the car, hmm not changed from previous models. I would have liked to have a longer taillight, like on the Renault Megane, another design 😁 The interior is insane though! Well done Opel!
Hey Dan, you said that you reviewed the multimedia system in another video. Can you please post a link to that video ? I was not able to find it. Thanks !
It's not collaboration,PuG is owner of Opel and not only that even in Stellantis group on paper is collaboration but in reality PuG owns Alfa, Lancia, Dodge,Fiat, Chrysler, Citroen and DS.
Why are the rear indicators so small, stupidly small, seems to be a thing these days, i’ve seen this on other models. The front are good, why not the back. Should not be just about style, safety should be a priority too.
There is something weird about this design. From one angle it looks very sporty and impressive from another angle it doesn't as much. Interior design is good but I don't like the center air blower area design which looks rough not elegant
I congratulate you for a very informative review. However no matter how many reviews I watch I just can't like this car. It's just ugly and looks like an enlarged version of the Corsa. The inside has far too much glossy black plastic and the rear legroom is less than the previous model. As for a three cylinder engine, no thanks. Dreadful car.
this car give me some little Mercedes vibes. I’ve never considered Opel until now. great job Opel, thanks for the video bro 👍
Just take a seat. I guarantee, your "Mercedes vibes" will be out of the window in seconds.

Thanks for feedback 🙏
is there any dedicated button to turn on the camera? or only by selecting reverse?

Opel Astra or 308 both PHEV which one is better, I want to lease to buy one of them in August this year, any suggestion ???
You prefer it to the 308? It's the same platform with very many similar features, but 15% cheaper so it looks like a good deal.....like golf vs a3
Yes right ....they are both same quality

Uhh, I'll just wait out the 308 review...
btw, your clip-on mic sounds way better now! No distortion. Nice job!
Thanks for feedback 🙏 👍Really appreciate 🙏
You kept comparing this with the golf. But do you think it is better than the new focus?
And as always great review!

I think Astra is much better. If the money difference is not big go for it.

True 👍
The car also has colored ambient lighting?
front reminds me of a Pontiac firebird
Yes right 🙂

Awesome car! I will order the Opel Corsa Sport Tourer for a little bit of more space!
Nice 👍👍
Would you go for the leather seats or the alcantara fabric seats?
Lether 👍easy to clean
@@SDADanCars Okey tanks a lot👍🙂

Why does a front wheel drive even have a transmission tunnel?
Good question
Why are the rear indicators so small, stupidly small, seems to be a thing these days, i’ve seen this on other models. The front are good, why not the back. Should not be just about style, safety should be a priority too.
They are same like Tesla Model 3
Can we see the interior ambient lighting
looks its best in black.
Yes not bad 👍
Thanks again, buddy ... great review. I think I have found my next car :)
Thanks also for feedback 🙂👍🙏
Holden Cruze hatch with aftermarket mag wheels
🙂
How much in UK ?
I like it xxxx
Not sure the price in UK 😪
Salut Dan belle finition cette Opel Merci Dan
You can barely see the rear indicators! Far too small.
At least should have made them brighter
Bravo Dane!
Merci Teodor 👍🙏
Best looking astra 😍
Yes 👍
Just give it normal 16V engine with at least 150HP and it will be perfect
👍👍
This is the future... sad but true, 3 cyl 😔
Agreed.
This Astra doesn’t have Matrix led. That’s something you can order too.
Yes 👍
I ordered the GS line after test drive I also drove the Golf not impressed
Nice 👍
Wow! Perfect 😍
Amazzziinngg car!
Yes 👍
Don't like the large plastic bezels around the driver display and entertainment screen.
You can get the screens covered with glass.
@@cadenrausch741 Went to my local dealership to ask about the glass screens. Won't be available until next year.

It is super nice 👌 love the design
Amazing car
Yes 👍
we miss astra in BR
the one who designed that dashboard needs to be updated
🙂
Why not the Kombi. That is of far more interest.
Yes I will do that soon as well 👍
Super wow
Beautiful😍

Bellissima , la vorrei propio identica
The rival to Renault Megan e tech.
Bellissima la vorrei propio così

Looks insanely good, but I'd never buy her over Golf.
@Dwayne501
The new Golf MK 8 has horrendous controls.
@@nickhickson8738 when you get your head round the tech it’s really good.
Isnt golf discontinued?
@@aciddiver1978 No... They finished with Passat. Golf will forever be on the scene, i hope.
I would prefer a larger v6 or at least 4 cylinder with 200+ hp. 3 cylinders and dull power ruins the otherwise beautiful car. Electric is BS.
👌
"Peugeot cars are some of the most known in good consumption": what? BMW is miles ahead in engine efficiency and fuel economy
The glossy plastic is real. Gonna look gross after a week

Sorry to say that but it’s still looks cheap that dashboard to much plastic shinny stuff I don’t like it
One peugeot 308
Not into the alloys 🤮 but car looks ok
🙂
worst vents ever!
🙂
Ну что за убогий вид)))? Кому то это реально нужно???
Wet timing belt , stay away...
Too slow.
All of the new astra wheels look totally shit.
Dash board is so ugly,and that front...it doesnt fit the car at all.
I love the far. Hate this interior dash.
This isn’t a proper Vauxhall with a Vauxhall engine it’s just a shitty Peugeot with a Vauxhall badge
Thanks Peter for feedback 👍
There hasn't been a proper vauxhall for 40 years !
Looks like shit to me
