Description

This Astra GTC pairs a lively 2.0 CDTi diesel with a manual gearbox for an engaging, confidence-inspiring drive. The engine delivers strong mid-range punch while the chassis remains composed, making it equally rewarding on twisty roads and relaxed on motorway cruises. The steering is direct and the ride strikes a comfortable balance between poise and everyday usability.

Practical for a coupe, it offers five seats with a versatile 60/40 rear split, sensible boot space and reassuring running costs thanks to economical diesel figures and a £170 annual tax bracket. Well maintained with a recent clutch and flywheel at 73k and an MOT until 10/02/2027, it’s a tidy, practical sporty choice.
