Can Vauxhall's latest Astra steal a march on its rivals in CDTi diesel guise? Steve Walker reports

Ten Second Review
The Vauxhall Astra is a fine example of the modern family hatch and its running costs are at their most affordable in the CDTi diesel models. The car rides and handles with genuine composure and the engines churn out a smooth flow of power once they're on song. A vibrant and solidly built cabin adds to the Astra experience and there's enough space to tick most of the practicality boxes.
