For The Astra Sports Tourer looks great inside and out, and its cabin is built from high-quality plastics. It’s practical, too, and the ride is very comfortable.
Against It’s expensive to buy and lease, and doesn’t hold its value well. The steering is vague.
What Car? says
The classy, spacious cabin is a real highlight, but the Astra falls short of the best small family estates in key areas.

Buyer's notes
Target Price team says:
The Astra Sports Tourer is sleek and stylish, but it’s practical, too. Boot space is on a par with key rivals like the Ford Focus and VW Golf estate and, if you configure it for the maximum load space, there’s more than you’ll find in an Insignia Sports Tourer.
There’s a handy storage space beneath the boot floor, too, and also the option of a luggage compartment liner and a ‘FlexOrganiser’ system that allows you to customise the boot space with nets and foldaway dividers.
Choose your trim level carefully – SRi versions have firmer suspension that makes the Sport Tourer sharper and more enjoyable to drive, yet ride comfort is still excellent. Cheaper versions are also rather short on kit.
Private buyers have the reassurance of Vauxhall’s lifetime warranty and it shouldn’t take much haggling to knock a significant chunk off the list price. You’ll need a decent discount, too, because residual values aren’t likely to be particularly strong.
