The exhaust note in the automatic model, too, could prove challenging, as it is quite droning.The roads we sampled on the launch were great but the traffic wasn’t, so we didn’t get to push the GTC as hard as we would have liked.What was clear from our drive, though, was that the GTC feels quite poised and well balanced through sharp corners, and comfortable and composed over longer sweeping bends.Its steering isn’t perhaps as precise as, say, a Kia Pro_cee’d GT, nor does it feel like it wants to bite down on the road during harder higher-speed cornering. And yes, if you’re thinking the new Holden Astra VXR looks familiar, you’re spot on. Luxury/sports small cars

Buyers who want the look of a sports car with a little more manageable performance can instead opt for the There’s the entry-level GTC and the upper-spec GTC Sport, with these three-door hatchbacks aimed at giving buyers a more style-focused alternative to the run-of-the-mill five-door options on the market.There are plenty of competitors for the Astra GTC variants to compete with – the On that topic, the Astra GTC starts from a fairly shiny $26,990 plus on-road costs for the base version and $29,990 plus on-roads for the Sport - those prices are for the manual versions, with automatic models adding $2200 to the price.The differences between the two are reasonable, though both have strong standard equipment lists.
The intake noise that comes from under the bonnet under full throttle is pretty intoxicating, too.That’s the performance side of things, but the Astra VXR isn’t just a fast car – it’s also extremely practical.It’s a five-seat hatchback, and all five seats are usable – provided those in the rear aren’t big boppers. Unless otherwise stated, all prices are shown as Manufacturer's There’s a small stowage nook alongside the USB and auxiliary jacks, too, which is good for small portable devices.The seats are superb up front, with 18-way adjustment meaning even the most finicky of drivers will be able to find a setting that suits. It’s fast, fun and functional, and it’ll undoubtedly add some extra spark to the Lion brand’s line-up.

The menus for the radio/media/phone interfaces are also less than impressive.That said, it does have a simple Bluetooth media system which reconnects quickly, and the requisite USB/auxiliary inputs allow for quick connectivity to a portable music player.What impressed us most (aside from the standard equipment list) of the Astra GTC is the fact it is so roomy inside. Seatbelt reach-over could be annoying for shorter drivers The 2015 Holden Astra range isn’t all about extreme power and pace – that’s the domain of the Astra VXR.

Holden wants OnStar for Australia, but will have to waitThe Holden Astra will arrive in Australia next year without OnStar, one of the car’s leading technology features available overseas, but the local division is determined to introduce it as soon as possible. It's the Holden Astra VXR.

Included is a seven-inch colour media screen with satellite navigation and Smartphone app connectivity, front and rear parking sensors and 18-inch alloy wheels.The GTC Sport adds items such as 19-inch wheels, leather trim, electric driver’s seat adjustment, heated front seats, dual-zone climate control and a body kit.Both the GTC and GTC Sport models come with a 1.6-litre four-cylinder turbocharged engine with the choice of a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission. In the back there’s good head room and decent knee room, and access is quite good because the door apertures are wide.If you have two in the back (which is recommended), there’s a flip-down centre armrest with cup-holders and a ski port.
The suspension recovers well when it hits potholes, and while it is jiggly over consistent ruts (more noticeable in the GTC Sport, which rides on 19-inch rims with Continental tread than in the GTC which has 18s with Bridgestone rubber), it never hits frustration point.There is an element of frustration with the Astra, though, and that is its media system.The MyLink 7.0-inch colour screen offers reasonable resolution and the inclusion of satellite navigation in the base models is worthy of accolade, but the usability of the system isn’t.
