VAUXHALL ASTRA (2004-11) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.3 CDTI 90 LIFE AC
Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The VAUXHALL ASTRA (2004-11) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.3 CDTI 90 LIFE AC is a five-door family hatchback in the UK’s mainstream class, competing with the Ford Focus and Volkswagen Golf. Its practical shape and rear doors make it an all-rounder, rather than a city car or sporty model.
The 1.3 CDTI diesel makes this Astra a reasonable choice for regular commuting and longer journeys, while the Life AC trim keeps the appeal simple and usable. It suits couples, small families and drivers wanting affordable, everyday transport, with hatchback practicality and a familiar, easy-going feel.
