Opel Astra 2016

[Johnny86]

Altis also around $110k for elegance (not going for base trim) and think free servicing is 1yr. At that time think their anniversary version not that much more.

 

Slow and steady yes, depend on ur needs. Does look nice and sharp but not fast enough to pull me in to test their CVT drive

 

 

If have more money .... Either A3 sport back 1.4 or Golf 1.5T 2017 version... Hope can try one of these within the next 5yrs

The traded price for the Corolla is a bit less la... just like the posted 123k price tag for the 1.4T Astra is actually quite a bit higher than the real deal.

Anyhow, Polish, UK etc, it should be fine. Furthermore, with the high OMV, higher cat B COE, when it comes to selling, it won't do too badly either.

Think selling may not get good price. Must see how the brand develops in the future.

So the 1.4t only comes in a hatchback version? And the 1.0 is a tourer that costs 99k? IMO the 1.4t is good value for a cat B turbo equipped car. Especially if you consider what a Golf will cost. Loaded with features too. This is what is needed to draw sales from other more mainstream brands. It's cheaper than a civic or HRV and is not much more than a corolla.

My old Astra was made in Belgium. The version before mine was Polish.

both have HB and ST version... 

normally ST 1.0 is 6K more expensive than HB 1.0

ST 1.4 is ~10K-13K more expensive than HB 1.4

IMO, HB 1.4 and ST 1.0 value more for money.

just curious why do u think HB 1.4 more value than HB 1.0 ?

 

just compared the difference, 1.4 dep about 10.3k, 1.0 dep about 9.5k

[Sabretan]

Nope it's wrong.

 

Opel shifted their Astra plants to Gliwice(Poland) and Ellesmere Port(UK) a few years back after closing their Russelsheim plant in Germany. I checked the VINs on the 1.0 and 1.4 test drive cars.

 

You can run the VIN numbers in this website to find out where the car is made http://vinopel.com/register.php

 

1.0T and 1.4T hatchbacks are made in Poland. Checked from both Auto Germany's test drive cars SLE878R and SLE898H.

 

Sports Tourers are made in UK.

 

Mine was made in Bochum Germany.

For brands like Opel, if want to buy, buy for the ride and not resale value.

 

If want resale value, look elsewhere.

Unless planning to drive for 10 yrs, need to consider resale value to est the cost of ownership. Den compare the ride, etc with cars of the similar cost. If resale value is very bad den the car will be ex even if the selling price now is low.

The depreciation may be less but a 1.0 is a lot less fun.. and fun is worth paying for

exactly what I would say. we cannot just look at depreciation. if the price is not too much difference, 1.4T is a good choice. but if it is ~15k more without another new features, then i'd rather choose 1.0

ST 1.4 is ~10K-13K more expensive than HB 1.4

The Sports Tourer is so much more expensive... not worth it..

However I know they have different rear suspensions for different variants..

[Hamburger]

Depreciation concern?

Nah, I didn't get that, wanted, but too kiasi so I didn't bite.

That's a really good price for a 1.4t car..

What's the OMV like?

I drove the Astra for two years (8 years ago). Solid build, great for long distance drives and FC was pretty good.

We are having a promo price this weekend for all HB's. :)

 

Omv is crossing 20k now

[eric_shen]

saw on FB that is 97888 with 2000 cashback. so 95888?

[Sabretan]

Yours is the current Astra K?

 

nope, mine is zafira.

 

But the astra K is nice. But I find the handling too light and the view too low. but that is becoz I am so used to my zafira .

[Johnny86]

Handling on my astra k is nice and firm on the road , light during parking.

 

Previous car was hydraulic steering with loose cross member...turning with single hand is almost like a workout

[Leijasper]

 

All new Insignia. Swee wor!!!
