Good news for buyers awaiting the arrival of Vauxhall’s practical Astra Sport Tourer. The firm has announced that the estate will start at £16,575 when it goes on sale later this year, making it over £500 cheaper than the car it replaces.

The entry-level ES model is powered by a 99bhp 1.4-litre petrol engine, making it 10bhp more powerful than the car it replaces. What’s more, Vauxhall has gone to town with the standard equipment, with all cars getting air conditioning, ESP, curtain airbags and an electric handbrake.

The diesel range starts with the £18,665 1.7 CDTi ES Sports Tourer. It costs less than the outgoing 89bhp 1.3 CDTi Astra Estate Life, yet has more power and sub-120g/km CO2 emissions.

Four trim levels will be offered - ES, Exclusiv, SE and SRi – and all Sport Tourers are built at Vauxhall’s Ellesmere Port plant.

I have just recently bought the insignia hatch. I will say that I almost bought the tourer, and if I had seen this first I would have waited. Another cracking car V H. Though im sure that it wont take long for the blood thirsty journilists to get the knives out.

I do not see a proper Handbrake!

The second car I ever owned was a Viva. The last four cars have been Astras, three of them estates including my present one. Never been disappointed with the build or equipment on any of them. My 2000 estate still looks like new but it is time to renew. I have looked at the Meriva but no handbrake. Why? Now I see from your interior picture of the new estate or rather don't see a handbrake. I use the handbrake on hill starts and living on a hill I need to feel confident that a mechanical device is holding my car where I parked it. While looking for the missing Meriva handbrake I touched the brake button and the car started to move forward. As there was no visible handbrake I put it in gear and got the salesman who had to turn the car on to reapply the button. UM! I want a new Astra Sports tourer but would like a handbrake as an option the saloon cars seem to have one! My cars have to be like wheeled multitools with lots of options. I also need roof bars are there rails or just recesses?
