The VAUXHALL ASTRA SPORTHATCH-TWINTOP (2005-11) 3DR SPORT HATCH 1.7 CDTI ECOFLEX DPF 110 ACTIVE is a compact, three-door family hatchback from Vauxhall’s popular Astra range. It sits in the mainstream used-car market, offering a practical alternative to rivals such as the Ford Focus and Volkswagen Golf, with a sportier look than a regular five-door. The 1.7-litre diesel is intended to balance useful pull with economical everyday running, making this Astra a sensible choice for commuters and couples who want room for shopping or weekend bags. Its three-door layout looks sleek, though it is less convenient than a five-door for regular rear-seat passengers. The Sport trim gives it a more engaging, youthful feel. mycarcheck.com has one recorded check for this model, so its figures are only a snapshot: an £1,100 average private-sale value, 88,000 miles and 3,000 annual miles.
