2007 Opel Astra Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2007 Opel Astra have a positive impression, highlighting its performance, stylish looks, and comfortable driving experience. Reviewers particularly enjoyed the powerful engine options and good handling, making it fun to drive. However, some drivers expressed dissatisfaction with certain control features and the vehicle's suspension, noting room for improvement in these areas."
It's not your common run of the mill hot hatch. The sleek design, the curves and bodylines set it apart from anything else on the market. Associated with its striking good looks, is at the heart a 2.0L Turbo charged engine pushing out 147kw of power. Thats enough to accelerate you from 0 to 100km/h in a amazing 7.2 seconds and races onto a top speed of 234km/h !!! The car comes with all the bells and whistles that you would normally find in its bigger German counterparts. Steering wheel controls, MP3 player, xennon lights, 18'' wheels, OBC are to name just a few. It has excellent road holding, but squeeze that accelerator a lil too much and you'll find that its easy to spin the massive 18'' tyres, that is until the traction control kicks in and prevents too much wheel slip. Other driver and safety features are EBD electronic brake force distribution, ABS antilocking braking system, ESP electronic stability control, DDS tyre Deflation detection system and 6 airbags. All of these systems work with the driver rather than against to provide a exhilarting drive. With the touch of the sport button the car seems to come alive. The throttle and steering response sharpens and the car tightens with anticipation of a race car. All in all it is a perfect blend of sportiness and comfort. It truly is in a class of its own.

December 28, 2007The car is quite fun to drive, I have the 1.9 CDTi and it doesn't go like hell, but it certainly puts a smile on my face from time to time. Runing cost are quite low, and the build quality is really good, it isn't a Mercedes though.
July 27, 2009Great brakes. Easy-tronic transmission is great in accelerating, etc.
May 6, 2008It's a good car overall. Spacious enough for 4 people. Front wheel drive, 1.6L with 120 BHP, which are enough for the small chasis, but more would be better. It's fun and easy to drive because of the small engine size.
May 1, 2012overall satisfied with 1.7 CDTI engine, max torque not really present below 2000 tr/mint, but once launched 240nm is quite amazing i feel it from 2400 to 3000 it is the best range to enjoy that engine frame quite amazing....
June 29, 2008what can i say it was a rental. It drove fine and had plenty of poke. Though if honest too much at times cause it was easy to light the front tires up. Even when no trying. Could either do with traction control or slightly different ratio in first. Boot space was huge and fitted two suitcases in easily and still had some room left. Overall quailty seemed of good standard, though only had it a week, so didn't really get chance to find all the fualts. If it wasn't for the stupid controls i would of been tempted to consider one. I mean the indicators didn't self cancel very well and it was only a rocker switch so nothing positive and had lack of feel. I do think it was a base model, but still was a fun to drive.
January 6, 2008It's really a great Car!!! Fuel economy is out of this world and there is nothing to touch the handeling. The workmanship is realy astonishing, aspecialy for the price. I wont buy another car in the economy class then an Opel Astra. No problems what so ever. Its GREAT fun!!!
September 14, 2008This is a reasonable car. In the Swis alps, however, its little 1.6 little engine just isn't up to the challenge, not to mention passing. I haven't driven a Saturn Astra yet, but I bet it is very much the same as the opel. Only problem with the Saturn is there aren't any high performance versions.
