I like the new astra. I have the Astra H OPC/VXR. But i don't know why in the new astra the dashboard, panel from doors and also the panels in the back seats is from cheap plastick and not like Astra H GTC that has smooth soft rubber.. When i saw the interior quality i was disappointing. In the year 2012 and the other competition this is very big fault. I think the American GM put the hand on this. Here is not America αnd Opel will lost many sales with this decision.
@ElephantTLK well yeh, I mean that as a sports coupe its practical and spacious. as you seen the back seats had loads of room...didnt feel cramped at all.
@ShanesAutos I mean build quality of interior... Plastic creaks, noisy centre console, noisy chrome plastic, noise in both door panels, on dashboard, a pillars... Mine is 2009. Not so well built...
@ElephantTLK how can u compare it to the models that came out in 2009 lol those were the first models mate :) this one is one a whole other level. @ ShanesAutos, gonna do a test drive to the 2.0 cdti tomorrow, if it goes well i will order one
@ShanesAutos its not available in my country yet, only in january 2012, i wanted to get a test drive first. However, its gonna be black, 18" wheels, leather seats, bi-xenon headlights,navigation, flexride n all that. i think im gonna order one in the early days of the new year, might take around 1 or 2 months to get it, but when i do, ill post videos on my page hehe

Great review. Beautiful car. I own 5 door Astra J. Build quality is not the best (noisy plastic)... But good car all-around.
