Kezg1 5th Gear February 6, 2018 Share February 6, 2018 What is the rear suspension of Astra? In the brochure, it mentions Watt's link and compound link, are they the same? Is it independent suspension? Astra.jpg ....Wasn't very good in handling on my HB..imo ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stocker 1st Gear February 6, 2018 Share February 6, 2018 (edited) I consider the i30 an astra killer for the price. Do u guys agree? Not trolling. But astra definitely better looking! Agree that Astra has an edge in the looks, but the i30 is really quite nice too. It is also selling the 1.4T at Astra's 1.0T price. Not sure how it is setup but the multi-link rear suspension is potentially more comfortable. The handling of the Astra is really great, but I could use a tad more comfort. I do not think the i30 will handle as well as the Astra though the i30 may have a more updated suite of driver assistance, not sure about this. It also has rear air-con and potentially better NHV insulation. The Astra 1.0 engine (esp good FC >20km/l) and selling price difference is good enough for me not to consider the 1.4 Astra despite the AMT. On the other hand, If Hyundai brought in the 1.0T with the dual clutch, it will be really hard to resist....

therock Supersonic February 8, 2018 Share February 8, 2018 Yeah, that engine is something to beat at the under 100k price point..

Miczaq 1st Gear February 12, 2018 Share February 12, 2018 i am bringing this up so that other potential buyers are aware there is such an issue and can make an informed decision. when i just got the new car there isnt such a noise. after less than a month of driving, the noise came and i have been to AG multiple times to get this resolve and till now its not successful and AG claim its normal. mine is not the only 1.4 AT car with such issue ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
