VAUXHALL ASTRA (2004-11) 5DR ESTATE 1.7 CDTI 100 LIFE AC
Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The VAUXHALL ASTRA (2004-11) 5DR ESTATE 1.7 CDTI 100 LIFE AC is a compact family estate: a practical alternative to the Astra hatchback, with extra room for luggage rather than SUV bulk. In the UK used-car market, it sits among affordable mainstream estates, competing with Ford Focus and Volkswagen Golf estates.
Its 1.7-litre diesel is suited to regular commuting and longer journeys, while the estate body makes it useful for family holidays, shopping and carrying loads. The Life AC trim keeps things simple. It is best for buyers wanting useful space and economical-feeling diesel ownership, rather than sporty performance or a high driving position.
