What do you think about new astra 1.2 or 1.4 turbo petrol with 145 horse power ,I guess it's much better than diesel ?I think you have a video with 1.4 version if I remember
You really drive me crazy man! Did you know the route? Because otherwise at several parts i would have driven the car into the greenery at that speed :D Nevertheless thanks for the driving impression!! I'm highly interested in buying one...even though it has only 3 cylinders. Btw: Golf 8 is the same. New engines are downsized as f*** Greetings from Germany!
Basti H. Thank You very much! :-) Yes, I know the route well. 😀 Astra is still very good car, don’t worry. But it’s more or less a bit worse than in the past because of new manufacturing plant (Astra Sports Tourer isn’t produced in Great Britain anymore...)
@@muldix That's pretty bad. I drive a 1.5 dci Megane 3 and it does 6.0 at 144 and my long time average is 5.6. And I have a heavy right foot. It's a manual transmission though...
Abc Def honestly, it doesn’t seem good, because of strange gear ratios... 1,2 are long 3,4,5,6,7 are very short, so transmission only shifts and shifts and 8,9 are very long, so you’re almost not using these.
Crankshaft Rotator yes, but they had to build 3 cylinder, PSA told to Opel, if they want new 4 cylinder engine, they has to take if from Peugeot. And Opel needed to give job to his engineers in development.
This engine is stupid, how the fck they made something like this... I have astra J with 1.7 cdti last good engine for astra I think, in repair shop they sad 1.6 cdti is unreliable
For me it seems 3 cylinders and diesel is the worst combination there can be
Roberto Brito Falero not only for you. You are right man!
3 cylinder diesels have great sound though.
No one:
New Astra: Shifting, shifting and shifting
Ce sont mes oreilles ou bien c'est un 3 cylindres?
The 1.2 turbo is a good engine

Is this a 1.5l 3 cylinder diesel????
Yes :-(((

of course he knows that route he is probably driving around these roads since he was 16 :-)
This better be ridiculously economical. It's a 3 cylinder diesel and it's only revving 2000 at 130.
How was your fuel economy?
6,8 liters per 100 kilometers, but it's absolutely new car with few kilometers on clock. It will be lower. But still ...not so good as I expected.
@@muldix That's pretty bad. I drive a 1.5 dci Megane 3 and it does 6.0 at 144 and my long time average is 5.6. And I have a heavy right foot.
It's a manual transmission though...
@@ast5515 yes, simply more efficient engine. We have video with your engine here :-) th-cam.com/video/iXhtniiRDbA/w-d-xo.html
@@muldix not so good as expected? Why?
Felix Gadisa-Alade quality of new engine does seem bad... :-( Which is a shame, we love Opel. But Opel, not PSA
Is it a PSA engine or a german one?
Opel still uses their own German engines for the next couple years
It's neither GM or PSA. It has been developed by Opel stuff. The first and last true Opel diesel engine!
automatic 9 speed transmission good or bad ?
Abc Def honestly, it doesn’t seem good, because of strange gear ratios...
1,2 are long
3,4,5,6,7 are very short, so transmission only shifts and shifts
and 8,9 are very long, so you’re almost not using these.
@@muldix It's a CVT
@@terrificspokesman7416 no it‘s 9-Speed Automatic. The Petrol Engine 1.4 has CVT

Bad engine bad transmission . For me much better is 1.6cdti 136hp 6AT .
Altin not available in 2020. :-(
@@muldix Opel (psa) are going down , look the new Vw in golf 8 gtd 2.0 tdi 200hp they dont care about emissions or Eu regulations....
Altin th-cam.com/video/ewUiAnFKtMw/w-d-xo.html
This was Astra! ♥️
@@muldix Yess , No Opc no Opel .
The new 8 speed automatic is interesting but I love my 2.0 CDTI with the AT6 transmission.
So silence for 3 c
I have a "VW Golf 7.5 TDI 2.0L" and drive with 4,7 Liters per 100 Kilometers! This engine in der new Astra is bullshit...
You are absolutely right... Opel is beeing destroyed by french guys...
@@muldix The engine is a real opel engine, the french engines from PSA all have 4 cylinders.
Crankshaft Rotator yes, but they had to build 3 cylinder, PSA told to Opel, if they want new 4 cylinder engine, they has to take if from Peugeot. And Opel needed to give job to his engineers in development.
@@muldix Opel could also produce a r4 engine.
@@TheCrankshaftRotator This 1.5 is a BMW/Peugeot unit
This engine is stupid, how the fck they made something like this... I have astra J with 1.7 cdti last good engine for astra I think, in repair shop they sad 1.6 cdti is unreliable
2.0 cdti loves to destroy it self also 😂 1.7 cdti live forever
1.7 cdti 101 cv isuzu on opel astra h ->> best in town with no dpf euro 4😊
