Vauxhall Astra (New)

Overall Average Rating - 81.84%
Position in the Top 100 cars - 92nd

It's hard to put a positive spin on this set of results. The only saving grace is running costs – although 54th is nothing to shout about. So where does it all go wrong?

You told us that when it comes to comfort and ease of driving, the Astra is well off the pace of class rivals, while reliability and build quality are disappointing, too.

Ratings

Position in the Top 100 cars
Reliability: 71st
Build Quality: 74th
Running Costs: 54th
Performance: 73rd
Braking: 73rd
Ride Quality: 74th
Handling: 64th
Practicality: 78th
Comfort: 97th
Ease of Driving: 97th

Manufacturer Verdict (Position - 33rd)

A step in the right direction – but even though Vauxhall has risen a place, 33rd is poor. Owners say their cars aren’t comfortable or easy to drive, don’t have strong brakes and are too unreliable.
