Excellent car! Can't believe it's being discontinued – Purchased this car as a second family car and could not be happier. It is used daily on the freeway, has ample power and is very sturdy. The room in the back was important to us also, and it's fantastic. The aircon is also excellent in the back. The appleplay is great for my daughter who is on her P's. In fact, if this car was not discontinued, my… Read more
daughter would purchase one for herself. We service this car 6 monthly and there have been no issues.
Three years old and done piston 1 – 90000 kms and 3 years old and it’s done piston number one. Will be interested to see how energetic General Motors will be on getting this fixed considering it’s a common documented problem and has tried to be fixed with a recall with different oil. Bought the Opel hatch because they were supposed to be better than the Korean sedan. Time will tell. Show details
Excellent hatch highly recommended – Bought this Astra in February 2020 after owning ST Fiesta, Honda Civic hatch x 2, Focus, Nissan Maxima, Kia Cerato, I am extremely happy with this car, very solid European feel, quiet, enough power, not one issue after 8000ks, love this car, fun to drive, comfortable, reverse camera could be better.

My ownership experience – Was the owner of a red 2017 Astra r+ Auto . Bought with 6,500 kays on it from a private seller. I like the design, build and features for the price.

As I put more Kays on it… Read more
I noticed how soft the paint was with many stone chips. I even had one on the roof!. I had engine problems when going up hills a clicking sound happen like the sound of a piece of tin in a coke can rattling and loose power for a moment or to. The transmission wasnt very smooth you could hear it clunk into second gear and would jolt. 1 year and 20,000km later I decided to trade it in for a older car and lost money as these Astra do not hold there value at all.
Nice drive – Purchased new in April 2018 for just over 20 thou. for the R+. Has done over 30,000 Kims now. This car has been quite reliable and economical. Plenty of go in the 1.4 Ltd donk. Has excellent handling and good onboard tech. Although the forward collision alert seems to come on at odd times. But very comfortable car to drive. Well worth the purchase price. Show details
Good car but not without quality niggles – Have had a 2018 Astra R+ hatchback for under 2 years with 11k kms on the clock so far. Pros- it’s a drives like a dream with excellent ride, handling with decent power and kit. Good value for money Cons- very bad paint quality, chips very easily, almost as if they used crayons for paint. Headlights are extremely inadequate out of the city or on… Read more
dark unlit roads The placement of the reverse camera and the resolution are causes for limited utility
