The VAUXHALL ASTRA (2012-16) 5DR SPORTS TOURER 1.6 16V 115 EU5 DESIGN AUTO6 is a five-door estate: a roomier, more practical alternative to the Astra hatchback, but easier to live with than a large SUV. It occupies the UK’s mainstream family-car market, facing rivals such as the Ford Focus and Volkswagen Golf estates. Its generous load area suits families carrying shopping, pushchairs or holiday luggage, while commuters may value the automatic gearbox in stop-start traffic. The Design trim and 1.6-litre petrol engine make this a straightforward, familiar choice. Its estate shape delivers useful flexibility without the bulk or high driving position of a crossover.
