Lchong 4th Gear July 3, 2016 Share July 3, 2016 have they screwed up the pricing for Adam? It's the price of a SG astra Base model. which effectively being a much smaller vehicle. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaur4man 1st Gear July 3, 2016 Share July 3, 2016 (edited) test drove the 1.4T......coming from a 1.6M NA driver i must say it offers a much more spirited drive than my current old kimchi.... space wise of course compact hatchback is smaller than my sedan, but comfort level much higher hence compensates for the less passenger space, yet by no means frugal for both front and back, as legroom is very reasonable for adults and angles are rather ergonomic as well. boot space is certainly nothing to write home about but practical enough for a small family maybe. can see alot of effort put into making space for both front, rear and trunk. rather well balanced. infotainment is very complete with standard mutifunction steering + bluetooth + Apple carplay......user interface looks very refined as well. i like that all these come from factory (i think?) instead of being fitted locally. start stop is very easy to use and along with speeding down the test route, the whole experience was quite a refined one. engine noise certainly present on high revs but imo its not extremely intrusive (again coming from an old kimchi drive). hope bros here are right on the conventional 6 speed auto here.....gear change generally seamless to me , but still worried about continental "special" gearboxes. solar films and reverse camera is pretty much standard for this launch.

Sporadic 1st Gear July 4, 2016 Share July 4, 2016 Still driving my Astra H 1.8 from Day 1 - 7.5 years old now. The longest I've had a car! (Had an Astra G Manual 1.4 previously - I bought it when it was 6.5 years old and drove it all the way to the last day. That good experience was why I bought the Astra H brand new.) Reading all this, and having gone down to Suntec and also Ubi, I am very tempted to now get the new Astra! (Only thing stopping me is that I still have 2.5 years left of my current Astra!) 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
