A 1.4-litre family hatch is a far more compelling proposition when there's a turbocharger involved. Steve Walker tries the Vauxhall Astra 1.4 VVT Turbo.

Ten Second Review
Small turbocharged engines are cropping up with increased regularity in our mid-sized cars and the Vauxhall Astra 1.4 VVT Turbo neatly explains why. It achieves a smooth 138bhp with combined economy of close to 50mpg which is enough to make you question the need for diesel. The Astra itself sets a high standard for comfort and refinement and is at its best with this engine.
