Vauxhall Astra

Model/Mileage: 1.4 SXi 2008/08 /15,600 miles

The current version of Vauxhall's Focus basher boasts sharp looks and handling, yet it has a refined ride making the Astra a very comfortable motorway cruiser.

Inside, the Astra the dashboard is attractive, all the controls are well laid-out and the instruments are clear. There's enough room for four tall passengers and the hatchback bodystyle means the Astra has a good sized boot.

Finally, the Astra's 1.4 petrol engine is responsive and reasonably economical.
