I've got an astra 1.4 turbo elite on an earlier posted lease deal and just wanted to add that its a great car, loaded with goodies and the engine picks up well when pushed

I ordered one of these last time this was posted...didn't test drive it before hand :O.
Turned out to be a great car. Yes it's a Vauxhall, but has everything you can think of on it and drives really well. Highly recommended and for a lease no worries on any long term issues!

Pity it's a manual, or I'd be interested for the wife... Never any decent auto lease deals!

Top spec yet parking sensors not included? I thought this is pretty much a standard in a higher trims now. Fuel economy is surprasingly poor. I got an SRi version of this car back in September, fortunately on a 12 month deal only, and I can't wait to give it back.

Cynical reason, you're more likely to bash it. That way there are fees when you return it, boosting the leasing agents profits.

Vauxhall are so appallingly awful to deal with as a company. My Corsa has just been recalled (once again!) and I've been told I have to wait around the dealership for 7-8 hours whilst my car is repaired, or take the day unpaid, or whatever else, which is a total inconvenience to me, as they cannot provide me with a courtesy car or anything along those lines! Total and utter joke. Spoke to someone who supposedly works in their HQ, and she was so unbelievably rude. Horrendous company, would never, ever buy/lease a Vauxhall ever again! PS: not looking for a debate, merely just giving some honest feedback about this shabby company.
royals to ScorchingHot
16 Jan 171#22
wow, I have a Peugeot and audi and both give me courtesy cars foc. last time I wax at Peugeot I got a new 2008m pretty terrible though and my 12 year old 307 seemed a better car. with audi I've had an a5, a3, a1, q5, q3
Rufus1 to ScorchingHot
16 Jan 17#24
Yep I have to agree. Poor cars poor company. A few years ago we had Insignia VXR'S for work. All required new clutches within about 6 months. Vauxhall said it was the way we drove them despite the fact we had been driving Volvos and Evos in the same manner previously and with no such issues. Eventually someone found that the clutch in the 340bhp VXR was the same as in a 150bhp model. Apparently too much power to that type of clutch. Fast car but cheap components in that instance. I'll never touch them.

Not for me but no denying it's a lot of car for the money. Voted hot!

if they want to recall your car they should provide you a minimum of a basic courtesy car. providing nothing is inexcusable

16 Jan 17#59
Cos it's better than a Leon and people won't think you're a chav?
But to honest though I prefer uneducated fools like yourself assuming vauxhalls are rubbish, it makes for more bargains for us that know better.
...the engine is a peach too! Plenty of power for a daily, sensible car. As I've already mentioned it's specced up very very well too...
vulcanproject
16 Jan 171#27
Vauxhall have built a good car in this Astra. Still wouldn't have one. It's better than the Focus mainly because this is 18 months old whereas the Focus is basically 6 years old and replaced next year.

How is it a deal if u can get a loan and pay interest lower than this lease??
hobsgrg to nickmite9
16 Jan 171#30
It's a deal if the lease cost is less than or close to the depreciation you could expect to suffer if you bought the car outright over two years. I'd be very surprised if you suffered depreciation of less than £4.3k so it's a deal.
A lease deal is a good deal if the cost is less than the amount of depreciation you'd expect to suffer. Loan rates are irrelevant.

Got mine delivered in September. Although a nice car, the quoted MPG figures are miles off. The best mine has achieved on a run to london and back is 42mpg steady cruise control between 65-70mph. Around town i get anywhere between 25-31mpg. And its done around 4k miles.
McHotpoon to tee_tee
16 Jan 17#43
I had been considering the 1.4t if I go with a Vauxhall but knowing that it's off the list. I currently get 52mpg 80% out of town driving in my 2.0cdti, think I'll stick with the diesel.

Blah Blah Blah, been driving over 20 years, always managed to park without sensors and never knocked it, you know, because I can drive! Of course when i go out later I've set myself up to smash my bumper when parking now haven't I :smile:
tee_tee
16 Jan 17#44
This was a shock to me. I came from a 2.0tdi passat. That would average 55-60 mpg on a run. And 35-40mpg town driving. If you have a diesel with decent economy, moving to this will be a big reduction in fuel economy.
m5rcc to tee_tee
16 Jan 17#51
But owning a diesel these days is not a long-term proposition. You'd be out of pocket in the long-run compared to a modern petrol engine.

Looking for a lease but I told myself I'll never ever get a Vauxhall. I've been in their dealerships twice and both times the first thing they've asked is "Are you serious about buying a car?". Very rude staff.

I have. They've quoted me £194.98 per month (for 23 months). Initial rental £584.94 and admin fee £95.00, so total cost over term is £5,164.48. Seems they haven't updated their website!

Well this uneducated fool was a fleet purchase manager for a few years. The underpowered, old tech Vauxhalls and their poor reliability / build quality led to them being removed from the list of approved vehicles, despite massive discounts. It's only in the last 2-3 years they've removed bright red led displays for their poor audio systems for heavens sake.
But hey, keep loving that old tech eh !

Isn't Vauxhall the biggest chav brand going? Pretty sure it is, especially the amount of povo-spec ones they sell in white but with big wheels.
They're certainly not for people who like cars any way.

A German one. Assembled in the U.K.
It was independent rear suspension (unlike the solid beam axle this cattle truck has) but is front wheel drive. It has a modern three cylinder petrol engine that won engine of the year. And it drives fantastic.

17 Jan 17#72
I wasn't asking you but since you were rude enough to answer.
The mini to which you refer is well over a second slower to 60, heavier, less equipped and more expensive than this "cattle truck" as you so describe.
In fact What Car also rates the Astra as better car....
Magoo_222
17 Jan 17#73
Just got my quote back, the payments on their page don't include VAT, so I've been quoted £161pm with £1449 up front (went for the cheapest monthly option, around £135 on their page). So total deal price would be £5250ish including fees.

So you're suggesting What Car is corrupt and your knowledge is superior? What about Auto express, Autocar and Carbuyer who also rate the Astra higher than your Mini? Are they also corrupted?

You still don't get it. This car is the equivalent of a plain mild cheddar cheese sandwich on cheap white bread. I had one near this spec as a hire car a while back. The only thing that stood out was how bland it was.
Life is too short for bland cars. They're too expensive to waste the money on something that will bore you to death. And is not about speed, it's about how it feels, you cannot measure that in a review.
