I got a Astra a few months ago and I am still finding new things I didn't know Like today I found out the automatic windows don't close if someone has like a hand in the way.. fantastically safe car
For me its a huge leap to jump from a cassette player Vauxhall Astra to this Astra K........wow ! smashing car tbh. Apparently it has many of the same features a friends Bentley has !
After having my car 9 weeks and having android auto keep shutting down what you just shown me has made my day the phone hooks up to Spotify from the Bluetooth as soon as I get in the car top bloke cheers 👍🍺👍
I've just bought a 2016 corsa and most of the technology in the astra seems to be the same. Vauxhall are really progressing in the interior designs of their cars
I have vauxhall astra 2016. How to turn off radio while connecting android auto? I set gmap. It gives instructions for few seconds. Then radio comes in. Please tell how to resolve this?.
i have a swift sport from 2008 and it has the same keyless entry. so it isnt anything really new, but still quite a nice feature. Also has the keyless start but instead of a button theres a sleeve around the igintion that you just turn
I like, but one thing that nobody on car reviews aint mentioned yet and is starting to do our headings as Vauxhall regular car buyers. Has it got a reverse camera and if so at what point between manual or auto reverse does it start at when stopped and angle in degrees does it reverse to? Please help, we all like Opel new design but we dont know if Vauxhall had sacrificed reverse camera because of all the brand new tech wiring built inside. Please help, l am a big buyer in Vauxhalls but does anyone know?
He doesn't say that this model is probably top of the range and is the only one that give retractable door mirrors - insane! I'd be interested in this car's Tech Line version but one cannot specify that most useful of features i.e. retractable door mirrors. INSANE!
Good video on the car however, when you are saying "and you press this button to make the chairs go into massage mode" it would be good if the camera showed what button you pressed. But apart from that another good video! Keep it up!
I get that you may not be that aware of the car itself, but I really don't understand why you're focussing so much on stuff like the automatically adjusting headlights which are really nothing new... I like the cinematography, but I really think you need to know your stuff as well and make sure you've chosen the right car for your target audience. You could literally pick any new car and it would have very similar features, but you need to compare this car to the other cars to make it a constructive review.
Technomustard Exactly my point, l edging between if to are and stuck on where it doesnt show if it got any reverse cameras but no reviewer has mentioned them yet so it may have or dont have also if it dont have as what it look like then clearly they should explain why they had to sacrifice reverse cameras. It is very interesting and intelligent little car but l dont like it when we dont fully know about it true potentials and future proof technologies.
Why don't u talk about the driving experience u get from this car? It is fairly relevant to talk about, as many people prioritize a good driving experience over technology and a average/bad driving experience. So why not include it?
Felt a lot more like an advert than a review. Even talking about keyless entry like it's an amazing new feature - come on, that's been available on Fiestas (the class below this car) for three or more years now.
You do this Very well Alex! I really only have a couple questions now about the car, colors available, engine types, sports suspension, stuff like that, but as far as the tech and aesthetics you covered it all tastefully and in great detail. Enjoyed it, Peace
I like the vid but the only thing I don't understand is... People always talk about German and uk cars being so much better, but most of the American cars already have all of these features.
totally agree, I find it funny how he talks about how automatically adjusting headlights are somehow a new thing when my mate's 05 reg golf has it! It's just like seeing the reaction to some tech-savvy, technically optimistic teenager would have to something new. But having said that all, it's nicely edited and yeah I just think he should stick to the tech he normally gets aroused with.
Definitely agree! As soon as he got to the end of talking about the headlights and said he's not sure how they work, I cringed a little. It's great seeing him look at tech in different contexts, but reckon the car tech should be left for the car guys. Overall though, I love the editing and it's all smooth :)
I'm pretty sure the is the highest trim, which will cost you a lot more...What Opel has done with this car is amazing, I am getting one (low trim)...fuck CVT's ;)
For the rest of Europe It's an Opel Astra
Yeah
its the car for the guys without shame (germany)
sherlock
and for south America, in my case Argentina it is called Chevrolet but it depends in the country, in Peru I think is Chevy
Oh thanks
This Asta DON'T have HUD for current speed like you said, but only for emergency stop (ACC).
Alex just wondering but why is Jed not linked in the channels section of the TechFlow page
The Astra is so high tech because its the Elite model, meaning everything is top of the range.
I got a Astra a few months ago and I am still finding new things I didn't know
Like today I found out the automatic windows don't close if someone has like a hand in the way.. fantastically safe car
Which spec and engine did u get

The name of the song is called "over" by larsM& side-B Feat Aloma Steele

At 3:08 it says Tobu-Infectious but its not the song wtf
this is sick how you got to do this :)
that review was absolutely insane
I really wasn’t though was it
Hi what trim level is this one? Is it the elite nav?
did you ever find out?
Alex can you do a tech flow video on best tech under 50, 100 and 200
7:36 what about the M3? ;)
hey Alex could you please tell what color grading setting do you use!?
only the best
+Sledboss Productions ifkr
Very good, in-depth review not your usual video but you have adapted it well to fit the TechFlow style.
did you play the song with factory radio setting EQ or did you change the EQ
I have vauxhall astra 2016. How to turn off radio while connecting android auto? I set gmap. It gives instructions for few seconds. Then radio comes in. Please tell how to resolve this?.
what is the song called at 0:21
i have a swift sport from 2008 and it has the same keyless entry. so it isnt anything really new, but still quite a nice feature.
Also has the keyless start but instead of a button theres a sleeve around the igintion that you just turn
what has better soundsystem, this or the leaf?
Alex to be honest you are literally the best youtuber on youtube, you inspire me everyday. And i love the car too!
I like, but one thing that nobody on car reviews aint mentioned yet and is starting to do our headings as Vauxhall regular car buyers. Has it got a reverse camera and if so at what point between manual or auto reverse does it start at when stopped and angle in degrees does it reverse to?

Please help, l am a big buyer in Vauxhalls but does anyone know?
But what if I want to switch from I phone to android?
I was just thinking that
Android Auto upgrade for this car is available since May 2016.
Ay man! I love the editing of this, really well done and professional! The car looks sick!
He doesn't say that this model is probably top of the range and is the only one that give retractable door mirrors - insane! I'd be interested in this car's Tech Line version but one cannot specify that most useful of features i.e. retractable door mirrors. INSANE!
The most useful feature is self parking and intellilux lights, android auto, heating and cooling seats
Does anybody know what the song used is called?
I fucking want one
hello Alex. hope you have had a good day...
I really like that Vauxhall Astra I've been contemplating getting one but it has to be Arden Blue :)
Does the design version have nav?
What's the name of the track you played on the stereo ???
It kind of bothers me how he pulled the handle really hard and slammed that boot lid, like it's all brand new :/
That's the highest caliber of car he's driven? What about the blue M3 he drove on his vlogging channel several months back?
Good video on the car however, when you are saying "and you press this button to make the chairs go into massage mode" it would be good if the camera showed what button you pressed. But apart from that another good video! Keep it up!
6:39 (Apple CarPlay) It's not Google Maps anymore. It's Apple Maps. 😂
definitely should be a Top Gear presenter

What's the music with the first set of b-roll
Tube
Onstar is no longer available in astras from last year.
Your car reviews is better then the new Top Gear lol
that key technology has been around for a while and in cars of a much cheaper price. my mums 2014 renault clio has it!
Why don't u talk about the driving experience u get from this car? It is fairly relevant to talk about, as many people prioritize a good driving experience over technology and a average/bad driving experience. So why not include it?
An*
You should cover the prices of the cars you review :)
Or every thing👌🏻
Is this car better than Mazda 3 hatchback ?
Yes
Great video Alex!
What that's leather bracelet you have called??
It is his Apple Watch strap
+Matt Flintstone it's like a leather rope type thing it dosent look like a apple watch strap
it is a costom one and not an actual apple one
Thats from louis vuitton
It's a custom one made from old Luis Vuitton bag, Casey has a similar one.
do they offer this car with the dtiver seat on the left
Yes but it's Opel not Vauxhall
He is in the uk so we drive in the left, Europe on the right,..
How does he not have more views and subscribers. Sick video!
Felt a lot more like an advert than a review. Even talking about keyless entry like it's an amazing new feature - come on, that's been available on Fiestas (the class below this car) for three or more years now.
I thought you were gonna do this a while back I actually thought I missed it
Can anyone tell me what song this is?
Highest volume of car?! Your dad had an m3 and a porsch!
Do you have to pay for the wifi
Probably, you'll have to set up a plan with the onstar
is it petrol/ diesel or hybrid/electric?
Petrol and diesel 1.0 to a 1.6 turbo...
Excellent Alex!
"It will use the external antennas in the car" conflicting info haha
music at 0:22
6:35 ''Google maps on Apple Carplay!'' FAIL
That's what I was thinking
+Vojtěch Hořánek Well but if you have Google maps on your iPhone it will apear in carplay so yeah
+ludvigwestrom I didn't know that.
+ludvigwestrom but you can only hear the audio of Google maps not the map itself.
foreigner cannot listen what he said :D
what's that background music?
Great review mate.
Can you test the tesla model s
what song at 0:27 ?
You do this Very well Alex! I really only have a couple questions now about the car, colors available, engine types, sports suspension, stuff like that, but as far as the tech and aesthetics you covered it all tastefully and in great detail. Enjoyed it, Peace
I like the vid but the only thing I don't understand is... People always talk about German and uk cars being so much better, but most of the American cars already have all of these features.
Both are great: new astra and your review
Amesome video Alex, but ill like a 360 view of the car itself so we could properly see the car .
Background music please?
What about the engine ??
Oh lord who was filming this...
Probably Jed
Probably one of the best reviews of the car I've seen 👍👍
is vauxhall only in britain?
it is opel in europe
Holden in Australia
Vauxhall is the original makers and builders of the car, Opel and all the rest of fucked up company names or owned my Vauxhall.
HOLDEN!
WillFilms lol whatever...
How many times did you say technology dam
State of the Art ! Mate!
I wish Astras were still imported to the US I miss my Astra!!!!!!
US version of vauxhall is called Buick?
www.inautonews.com/buick-astra-hitting-the-us-market
I haven't seen a production one and I've seen numerous articles about it being released, but have not seen one yet, maybe I'm missing something
hmm dunno then. Got a astra myself, good reliable cars.
with great power comes great ting
song?
I have this car well I don’t but my parents do it’s a Sri
Lush
well how much is it...
I hope he can try out the Tesla model s, he will be very impressed with it.
You and jed do a good job of techflow
The most powerful car you've driven ? Haven't you driven your dads M3 in a vlog? Or am I mistaken?
Music?
Your Enthusiasms reviewing this Astra is epic. Sadly for Opel/Vauxhall , most Kids of your Generation have no Interest in Cars anymore.
Armin Steinke because it's cheap to run
"Tesla" will blow you mind.
On a personal note, congrats. on 150k subs.
Do a rav 4 2016 review
for the brand new vauxhall adam there is built in wifi!
It has built in wifi which means I can watch Alex on the motorway
which means you'll lose control of the car coz of his awesome videos
I won't be driving and watching I be sitting in the back and maybe laughing and have the other people in the car think I'm a weirdo😂😳
hey alex a big fan of yours love ua work mate keepit up :D
Cool Video Mate
I can only dream of a car like this :'(
How about the BMW 7 series
£219 a month for 36 months - not bad at all. I could do that. Maybe when I start, and then finish, my driving lessons I might buy this car.
"Old" tech, nothing special...and I think you should remain to your things. Leave the cars aside, it's not for you. It's just an opinion!
totally agree, I find it funny how he talks about how automatically adjusting headlights are somehow a new thing when my mate's 05 reg golf has it! It's just like seeing the reaction to some tech-savvy, technically optimistic teenager would have to something new. But having said that all, it's nicely edited and yeah I just think he should stick to the tech he normally gets aroused with.
yeah keyless entry isnt new and a lot of this technology isn't new either
Definitely agree! As soon as he got to the end of talking about the headlights and said he's not sure how they work, I cringed a little. It's great seeing him look at tech in different contexts, but reckon the car tech should be left for the car guys. Overall though, I love the editing and it's all smooth :)
Apple Car Google Maps what the !!!!!
I'm pretty sure the is the highest trim, which will cost you a lot more...What Opel has done with this car is amazing, I am getting one (low trim)...fuck CVT's ;)
Would you like someone to drive the car for you too lol
highest calibre car ? you've driven and m3
funny how he explains the touchscreen to be "Massive!" when its like the size of a iPad mini .... 😂😂😂😂
well its massive compared to other cars in that class 👀
+Tony Crawford the teslas one is biggers
Itz Adux i know its the size of the iPad pro XXXL lol
