Description

This 2011 Vauxhall Astra SRi combines engaging everyday driving with sensible running costs. The 1.6 VVT engine delivers a willing, refined performance that makes motorway cruising calm and urban driving effortless, while the responsive manual gearbox keeps the experience involving.

Practicality is strong with a tidy hatchback layout, split-folding rear seats and a useful boot for weekly errands. Finished in metallic silver and presented with a comprehensive service history and a recent 12‑month MOT, it’s a tidy, economical choice for first-time buyers or those seeking a reliable daily motor.
