The VAUXHALL ASTRA (2012-16) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.7 CDTI ECOFLEX 99G DPF SS 110 EU5 SE 6SPD is a five-door family hatchback in the UK’s popular mid-sized car class. It offers more space and comfort than a small city car, while remaining easier to park and live with than a larger estate or SUV. Its diesel engine and SE trim make it a practical choice for everyday driving. The Ecoflex version is designed to keep fuel use and emissions low, making it well suited to regular commuting and longer journeys; its roomy cabin also works for couples or small families. The six-speed gearbox gives drivers control on motorways, while the hatchback layout keeps shopping and luggage manageable. Mycarcheck records 36 lookups covering 18 VINs; observed examples averaged 108,000 miles, around 7,000 annually, nearly three keepers and a £3,200 private-sale value. A sensible alternative to the Focus and Golf for value-minded hatchback shoppers.
