VAUXHALL ASTRA (2012-16) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.4 T 16V 140 EU5 LIMITED EDITION
Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The VAUXHALL ASTRA (2012-16) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.4 T 16V 140 EU5 LIMITED EDITION is a practical, five-door family hatchback from the heart of the UK’s used-car market. It offers more space and versatility than a small city car, while remaining easier to park and live with than a larger family vehicle.
The turbocharged 1.4-litre petrol engine gives this Astra useful pace for joining faster roads and overtaking, without making it feel like a specialist performance car. Its Limited Edition trim adds appeal for buyers wanting a well-equipped, smart-looking, comfortable everyday car. It suits commuting, school runs and weekend trips, and can work well for couples or small families.
