Category: Small Family 
Price Range: £14,865 to £21,490
Well-equipped, smart design, good quality, pleasing petrol engines, agile chassis
Diesels a bit noisy, steering a little numb
A big advance on the last-generation model and the most competitive Astra yet - it's not quite a Golf-beater but it's almost there
Loads of second-hand models around from all sources, so you will have no shortage of choice. Depreciation is average for this market - they're cheap to buy new, even cheaper second-hand.
