Hi buddy. I'm new here but just read about your dilemma. I'm a
proud owner of the astra.
Pros & cons? Well, astra gearshift can be jerky if not used to
it. I didn't mind cause all my previous rides were manuals. The was
a hickup wif the gear once before, but since the new ECU upgrade,
its fantastic.
The handling of the astra is great! Handling may not be as good as
the Ford Focus, but its very nippy. Don't trust the 13.3km/h. Trust
me, its faster than that, especially wif the sports mode.
I'm getting consumptions of abut 14-16km/l, which is good for a
conti car. Ma not be of everyone's liking but I love my
Astra.
Happy buying...
