Excellent little car, Sport tuned suspension so the rride may not be a smooth but, it improves handling greatly. Absoutley fun to drive. Great Mileage. Plenty of get up and go even at freeway speeds
Great gas milage, comfort, affordable, car performance above all expectations, very reliable to getting to places, and safe.
It's too bad GM would not keep it's Saturn line alive, because the Astra is a winner. This three door hatchback is a dream to drive for the money invested. It's 140 HP Ecotech engine gives it the power that it needs without going over the fuel consumption issues that other high horsepower V-6 tend to use. The comfort level in the cockpit makes you feel like your driving in a much more expensive sports car. Mind you that there isnt much room in the rear seat area, but for short trips it suits my passengers well. The rear hatchback area holds plenty of cargo, and with the rear seats down, it holds tweo sets of golf clubs,which is all I really need. All of the controls are easy to reach. Stereo is very good sounding with a six disc changer. The on board computer system gives me all the information that i need for fuel economy, etc. Driving the car feels like your on rails, the rack and pinion holds the road nicely and stopping the car with four disc brakes is not an issue. The five speed makes it fun to drive. the two things that I dont like about the car is the fact that you cannot plug an I-pod or MP-3 player into the stero without adding a integration device. the other is there is no electronic compass in the car. Both of these items can be retrofited with aftermarket units if i really want them. Ovwerall, I feel that I got the best bang for my buck. the car is fun to drive and whats nice about it i get a lot of questions from other drivers as to what kind of car is that? There are not many three door Saturn Astra's out there.
