My dads just got back from vauxhall with a 60 plate MK6 Astra well his Zafira is being repaired and all i can say is WTF.

Seriously... how many buttons does 1 car need and not just that but how many buttons does 1 car need within such close proximity!

It's totally ugly aswell & has no head room and i'm 5ft 10.

Anyone on here got 1 lol.

I had one as a hire car a month or so back.

I'd rather eat my left testicle than drive one again.

Best looking astra from the factory imo.

Cant comment on the drive though.

Almost all cars now have a nice big stack of buttons/touchscreens etc. Its the way forwards :)

Not the worst interior I've ever been in tbh, shame the rest of the car is a ball of turd. And looks like a cat with its ears being pulled back

That might be a higher spec model, as I'm sure the one I had didn't have the schmoozy lighting. Or, knowing Vauxhall, it probably did but had broken lol

the interior looks similar to my grandads volvo v50 wonder if it had any influence on the astra one?

Most have a dashboard some buttons and a steering wheel, it's bound to look similar to something lol

I hate the button on the dash handbrake. My mates citroen has it, proper gash.

That interior don't look too sad, but I was kinda hoping for more "personal point of view and getting lost in the maze of buttons" lol

Holy carp thats a lot of stuff going on there!!!! And a horrific design.
We are working on a nav/climatecontrol/audio system that uses about 4 buttons and one 'knob'.. kinda like iDrive but now where near as turd lol

Electronic handbrakes make hill starts epicly easy and you cant walk off leaving the brake off (with ease)... handbrake turns are nearly impossible but then who needs/wants to do those anyway lol
