The Astra is a car perfectly designed for city road conditions. The car has improved handling and ride quality as well as offering more space and comfort for occupants. The core body is stiffer than in the previous model which reduces noise and vibration inside the car.

In this video you can see the Opel Astra being taken for a spin through a European city, I'm guessing a German one as it's very clean. The major difference between the European Opel and the British Vauxhall Astra is right hand drive, obviously. But also the Vauxhall is specially adapted to British road conditions with it's suspension designed to meet the challenges of winding country roads and hilly conditions.
