    This was one of the most useful and detailed reviews I have seen of the 2016 Astra so far! It is a long video, but at least you do cover everything we need to know about the car! Very good job.

      Congrats on the new car! Would love to film the Sports Tourer given the chance. Sounds like you have a well-specced car. How is it so far (assuming you've already picked it up)?
      On the shoes, well I like how comfortable it is, hence why I wear them! Hahaha...

    I am planning to go for 1.6 CDTi 16V Ecoflex Elite Nav - does anyone have any feedback on the 1.6 Diesel engine and how it performs. Also, what meaningful packs should be added in Elite Nav which are really required (I dont think I need a CD Drive) but has anyone got any comments about packs like IntelliLux LED matrix headlight pack - Astra Elite or Electric adjustable driver seat with massage/ventilation/memory - are these 2 packs really worth the extra expense?

    • @roberth7320
      @roberth7320 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      The diesel engine is brilliant in 134bhp and I would recommend the sri trim with keyless entry and start, electric handbrake and parking sensors as options.

    • @alexlovesmac
      @alexlovesmac  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Are you talking about the alloys on this particular Astra? If yes, then no, the alloys on this Astra are not diamond cut. But I believe you can get diamond cut alloys as an optional extra or as standard depending on which variant you go for.

    • @darrennico8527
      @darrennico8527 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    • @alexlovesmac

      I'm not entirely sure, but I believe a CD player is an option?

    • @clammier
      @clammier 7 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      CD player as most important part in 2016-2017? Sorry, but I have to disagree - USB and remote playback from phone/tablet is way more important nowadays. However, you can still get CD upgrade on higher trim levels afaik.

    • @alexlovesmac

      The spot on the right is for the rear foglight. Likewise on LHD cars, the reverse light will be on the right and the rear foglight on the left.

    • @prayerpowersr854
      @prayerpowersr854 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    • @prayerpowersr854

      alexlovesmac but why? I am really upset by this, it such good car but this let it down

    • @GenaFrog
      @GenaFrog 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Quite a few things are backward on the K series. After all, cars for years have had two reversing lights and two fogs. The base models of the Astra K don't even have rear speakers. They have four but they're all in the front. The SRi had 6 speakers but the rear speakers on this model are in the back doors. It's a shame they're not mounted in the boot. My dad had a really luxurious Vauxhall Cavalier Sports Hatch in 1979. It had front and rear speakers with the rear ones mounted in the parcel shelf and they gave off a lovely sound. Vauxhall have imo have prematurely retired the CD player. I'd have thought this model would've had one as standard but for it to be gone by the time this model is replaced. I've had the hassle of putting my cds onto my laptop to sync to my iPhone. You can buy a CD player as an option but it's £135 and even then it's mounted in the glove box which seems ridiculous. I'm picking up my Sports Tourer SRi today so I will be a happy Vauxhall owner :)

    • @alexlovesmac
      @alexlovesmac  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      DRLs are meant to be on all the time. It's a safety feature that shouldn't be turned off.

    • @dalebassett9474
      @dalebassett9474 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      alexlovesmac that kinda sucks really i know what your saying however i think you should have the choice to turn them off i mean yes they called daylight running lights but if its a really nice sunny day theres no need for them to be active most cars these days can be turned off manually

    • @dalebassett9474
      @dalebassett9474 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      as for safety feature a lot of cars dont have them i own a fiesta 1.4 tdci also and has bog standard lights with no dlr so its just another bling accessory cars dont need them its just an additional pleasure thats why all cars are fitted with fog lights for poor invisibility so i have to disagree with your oppinion that these are a safety feature

    • @alexlovesmac
      @alexlovesmac  7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Dale Bassett On the contrary, a lot of new cars do have them actually. It's supposed to be standard on brand new cars introduced after Feb 2011. It also depends on when your Fiesta was made etc. The sixth generation Fiesta does not have them as standard as it was introduced before Feb 2011. DRLs are designed to make your car visible during daytime and it is especially useful in cold weather where it is gloomy most of the time. At night when the lights are on, the DRLs either switch off or dim down depending on the setup. I would disagree that it's a bling accessory and it shouldn't be compared to fog lights as they have two separate functions. Fog lights are designed for when visibility drops below 100m.

    • @dalebassett9474
      @dalebassett9474 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      alexlovesmac its not safety if it was all cars would have been made with them years ago before 2011 as you said it so yes i will dissagree and please only reply if you know how to turn them off from automatic to manual thats the reason i commented for in the first place right .

      Opel are a subsidiary of General Motors as are Vauxhall and Holden, you'll find all three make an Astra which is basically the same with a few differences. I believe Opel are sold in Ireland too and Holden are Australian although I believe many models bound for Australia are made in Poland.
