2021 Vauxhall Astra 1.2 Turbo Griffin Edition Hatchback

Description

I’ve had this 2021 Astra for about a year now, and it’s been a real joy to drive. Only 19,600 miles on the clock, and it’s still in great shape. It’s the Griffin Edition trim, so it’s got some nice extras — automatic headlights, heated seats, and a heated steering wheel. That’s a big plus when the weather turns cold.

I’ve got front and rear parking sensors, which makes parking a breeze, especially in tight spots. The LED headlights are good for night drives, and the touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto keeps me connected. I use it every day, and it’s been reliable.

It’s got a solid 54 mpg rating, so I don’t have to fill up the tank too often. The boot’s roomy enough for groceries or weekend trips. I’ve also noticed it’s quite quiet and smooth — 0-60 in just under 10 seconds, which isn’t flashy but feels responsive.

It’s got all the safety bits too — ESP, seat pretensioners, and a full safety package. I’ve only ever driven it on local roads, so it’s still well-maintained.

It’s currently parked in Sidmouth, East Devon, and I’m thinking of selling it after a few more years of use. It’s not a flashy car, but it’s solid, practical, and drives well. I’ve kept it well looked after, so it’s still a great daily driver.

Price is £10,971 — just a bit over what I’d expect for a used car this age, but it’s been worth every penny. If you're looking for a reliable, low-maintenance hatchback with decent features and good fuel economy, this one’s worth a look.
