LIKE its hatchback counterpart, Vauxhall’s latest more spacious Astra Sports Tourer estate gets a smarter look, extra connectivity and a more appealing, more efficient range of engines.
Jonathan Crouch reports. With all the other options facing family car buyers in the modern marketplace, the compact estate car is sometimes overlooked.
Admittedly, it’s not the most exciting option next to the plethora of tough-looking compact 4x4s and MPVs with their elaborate seating arrangements but it is reassuringly simple in what it offers and surprisingly practical too.
Vauxhall’s improved Astra Sports Tourer seems to fit the bill very nicely in this regard, especially in this latest generation form with its extra efficiency, additional space, greater connectivity and sharper looks.
If you’re in the market for a car of this kind, it should be on your shopping list.
