It’s smart, comfortable, easy to drive and packed with thoughtful features — a genuinely well‑rounded family hatchback that feels modern, refined and brilliantly user‑friendly.

 
Easy, confidence‑boosting driveability
The Astra has always been known for its approachable, well‑balanced driving feel, and the 2017 1.4 Design Automatic is a perfect example of that philosophy. Everything about it feels smooth, predictable and reassuring:

Light, accurate steering that makes town driving effortless
A refined automatic gearbox that shifts cleanly and calmly
Comfortable suspension that absorbs bumps without fuss
Stable, planted handling that inspires confidence on faster roads
It’s a car that feels instantly familiar — you get in, set off, and everything just works. Whether you’re navigating tight urban streets or cruising along the motorway, the Astra delivers a relaxed, easy going driving experience that suits both new and experienced drivers alike.

 
Great real‑world fuel economy
Despite offering strong performance and a smooth automatic gearbox, the 1.4 turbocharged engine is impressively efficient. Drivers regularly see 45–50 mpg in mixed use, thanks to:

Smart turbocharging that provides power only when needed
Start/Stop technology that reduces fuel use in traffic
Lightweight chassis engineering
Efficient gearing designed for motorway cruising
It’s a car that keeps running costs low without sacrificing refinement or everyday usability — ideal for commuting, family life or longer journeys.

 
Superb level of standard specification
The Design trim may be the entry point in the Astra range, but it certainly doesn’t feel basic. Vauxhall equipped it with a genuinely impressive list of features that make everyday driving more enjoyable and more convenient:

IntelliLink touchscreen infotainment system
Bluetooth connectivity
Air conditioning
Cruise control with speed limiter
DAB digital radio
USB connectivity
LED daytime running lights
Comfort‑focused seats with excellent support
It’s a cabin that feels modern, well‑designed and surprisingly premium for its class. Everything is laid out sensibly, the materials feel good to the touch, and the technology is intuitive and easy to use.

 
Comfortable, spacious and refined interior
Step inside the Astra and you’re greeted by a cabin that feels airy, comfortable and cleverly thought out:

Supportive seats ideal for long journeys
Excellent legroom in both the front and rear
A large, practical boot
Quiet cabin with impressive sound insulation
Soft‑touch materials that elevate the overall feel
It’s a car that works beautifully for families, commuters and anyone who values comfort and practicality. Long motorway journeys feel calm and relaxed, while short trips around town are effortless and enjoyable.

Established in 1989 LIGHTHOUSE CAR CENTRE is family run car trading company. Helpful without being pushy. We had a personalised registration on the car we were trading in..They took care of all the paperwork which made the sale and purchase very straightforward..Our daughter bought a car from them 16 years ago and had a good experience which is why we went back to them. We would definitely recommend them as you have a more personal interaction than with larger dealers.
