WTF happened to the gas struts on the bonnet?

Tested on a track sponsored by a company that makes chainsaws?!

No - really - sorry. Even with the fu**ed door lock I prefer my Astra H 1.8 Auto.
 
Anyone know if there will be an update to the Navi 900 Intellilink system to allow for Android Auto?

I've emailed GMSA and waiting back but in the meantime would probably be quicker getting a response here... if any.

Well thats ****ty. I guess they prefer Apple over Android then.

In other news, heard from my brother in law that they are recalling the astra over the cellphone holder. Not exactly sure what about it or how many affected cars but what he was told was GM was not happy with the finished product.
 
Best damn car out there.

...it struck me that this Ford Focus rival’s Ellesmere Port origins should make it a British icon in its own right.

Yeah, and then you Brexit.

1.6T Sport Plus with Navi 900 Intellilink System. Astroid Grey + Smash and Grab. No discount but did get in a decent trade in on my astra j although they gave me what I was wanting so not sure if I could've gotten more.

Was suppose to be delivered tomorrow but only landed in PE yesterday so they apparently still need to do their prep work and then on a truck for CPT.

Also, and after many years of vowing not to become an apple hipster, I went out and traded my droid for an iphone because of carplay.

Sweet man! Really happy for you...that's top spec with those fancy lights.

Post pics & report back once you get it!

I know CarPlay works great on the system but you asked about AA so you're not an iPhoney man.
 
Yeah I asked about AA as my brother-in-law just got one as well and he thought AA worked. I knew it didn't as the specs for the nuvi 900 don't list AA so was just trying to figure out why for his sake.

The fancy lights was all I really wanted. If it was optional with a lower spec car I probably would've gone with the lower model but looks like they were smart in offering the neat gadgets with only the top spec.

Anyhow Carmag shootout Astra K vs G7 vs 308

Very closely matched all 3...only 1 winner though

/Snip Pics

PS: please refrain from saying Carmag is VAG biased & such...

I have not read the review yet so cannot give my 2c

Seems we are not the only ones thinking they are biased.
