The VAUXHALL ASTRA GTC (2011-18) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.7 CDTI ECOFLEX DPF SS 110 EU5 LIMITED EDITION 6SPD is a sporty, bold three-door hatchback, giving the familiar Astra a more distinctive, coupe-like look. It sits in the UK’s compact-car market as a stylish alternative to mainstream family hatchbacks. The 1.7-litre diesel and stop-start system are aimed at economical commuting and longer trips, while the six-speed manual keeps driving involving. It suits commuters, couples and smaller households who want strong styling and useful hatchback space, but the three-door design is less handy for regular rear-seat passengers. Against rivals such as the Volkswagen Scirocco, it offers a practical Astra-based option. mycarcheck.com recorded 27 checks covering 13 distinct VINs in a modest sample.
