The VAUXHALL ASTRA GTC (2011-18) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.7 CDTI ECOFLEX DPF SS 110 EU5 SPORT 6SPD is a three-door, sporty-looking family hatchback, sitting between everyday compact cars and more style-led coupes. In the UK used market, it offers Astra practicality with a more distinctive shape, appealing to buyers wanting something less conventional. The 1.7-litre diesel and six-speed gearbox suit regular commuting and longer journeys, while the Ecoflex focus aims to keep fuel use sensible. The three-door layout and sportier character suit couples, singles or small households more than families needing easy rear-seat access. It can also work well as a comfortable, economical daily car. Mycarcheck.com recorded seven checks across four VINs, a limited sample: average private-sale value was £2,800, mileage 125,000, annual use 6,000 miles and previous keepers about 1.3. Compared with a Ford Focus, its coupe-like styling stands out; check service history and condition carefully before making a purchase.
