2014 Vauxhall Astra GTC SRi 1.4T petrol
Summary:
Nice!
Faults:
Just a service and tyres, but I have only had it about a year.
Knocking noise from the rear, probably just suspension, will have it checked soon.
General Comments:
A smart little coupe/hatch, this Astra GTC stands out from the regular Astra massively.
SRi is a nice spec. 1.4 turbo engine is a good one, not a fast car but does you a solid 40 mpg or more driving carefully.
Ride a little firm but not uncomfortably so.
A great looking, fun to drive, cheap to run modern car, what's not to like? Try one.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Very good review. I'm the guy that was commenting on your older VXR review. Still have my bog standard SRi GTC with the 1.4 engine. Still love it despite its boring performance; as you know the car itself is otherwise fun to use day by day and I will never get bored with it, nor the good looks.
Closest thing to a fast Vauxhall I ever drove (a friends car many years ago) was a Senator 24v and a Lotus Carlton. Keep us up to date with the Astra VXR :)
