Saturn sold about 500 Astras in January and has seen sales increase steadily since then, hitting nearly 2,000 units last month, spokesman Steve Janisse said. "It definitely did get off to a slow start," he said. "It's been pretty fun to watch it take off." And a price point under $20,000 makes the Astra a good first-car option. There's been a buzz factor in the blogosphere and on the social networking scene, he said. "It seems to be a hit with the younger crowd," Janisse said. http://www.sbsun.com/search/ci_10413237?IADID=Search-www.sbsun.com-www.sbsun.com- |

I purched an 08 Astra XR 5 door in July. Love everything about car but auto trans. Don't like it when it shifts into neutral at stop light. When you start up again it seem to hit into gear hard with a jerk. The rest of the car I really like. Fit & finsh is very well done. This is a great little car. Has the price gone up a lot? Mine has everything, XR, adv audio, sport handling, premium trim, leather seats, auto, no sunroof,total sticker price less tax was $21,655.00. Test car in article had a price of $26,300.00. Maybe not US dollars. Let me know. |

Replying to: wesley1der (Dec 04, 2008 7:06 am) The more expensive armrest gives you a VIDEO installation procedure.It does seem difficult...but it is a very good video with sound and very clear and concise instructions. Hope this helps. nortsr |

Wind & Road Noise? I did a quick search and neither were mentioned frequently. I'm coming off 5 year ownership of a Pontiac Vibe. Within the first month I was complaining about the excessive wind rush noise. I would like to know if Astra owners have similar problems with wind rush noise and road noise. Astra seems more sleek ??? Maybe that will help? Also: will I be losing a lot of rear storage space going from the Vibe to Astra? Comparison numbers say 12cf vs Vibe's 20cf but sometimes the numbers are misleading due to shape and/or bump outs ??
