HRST DRIVE: VAUXHALL ASTRA GTC


That's Astra nice - the GTC


What would we do without .. choice? It's everywhere you -■ turn and with every product you buy, and as consumers, we’ve taken it for granted. Don’t forget Henry Ford


offered a well-known colour palette for his Model T and only recently has the notion of saloon or hatch being pretty much your; only choice come to an end.


: That’s why instead of


choosing a humble three-door version of the Vauxhall Astra, you get something a little more different: the Astra GTC. Just as the last-generation


compact hatch from Vauxhall became a Sports Hatch, with the current car there is something much more


- intriguing to tempt buyers looking for something aTittie more distinctive.- Of course, the GTC is still


recognisably ah Astra at first glance but by the sartie token a non-Vauxhallspottef might well find themselves drawn to the attractive sporty number passing by. ^ Despite'the ferhily'


resemblance, Vauxhall is keen to point out that only the door handles and the roof aerial are carried over from the five- door hatch which represents a significant commitment


A BEAUTY: Vauxhall’s Astra GTC is a stunning design.


to making the GTC a car of distinction. . Even more unusually, it has


a different wheelbase and track over the hatch, which promises a more focused driving experience. • There are more mechanical


tricks up the GTC’s sleeve too. All versions, even the entry-


level 1.4-litre Turbo, has ’HiPer’ struts fitted at the front end. It’s a sophisticated piece


of suspension technology borrowed from the Insignia VXR but essentially it solves the problem of powerful front-wheel


drive cars suffenng from torque steer, where the front wheels, writhe under power. UK GTCs also benefit from


specific suspension settings, all the better to cope with the senous challenges of difficult bends and poor surfaces. It builds the anticipation of ■


a good drive as you get behind the wheel, and although the cabin is virtually identical to the fiv^oor, the new exterior ' doesn’t compromise cabin. space. Adults can comfortably sit


in the back, although the taller


end of the spectrum will find the roof sloping towards their heads, but the boot can hold 380 litres with the seats up and a generous 1,165 with the seats folded. ■


Adding an electronic


handbrake across the range has also freed up more storage space-you don’t feel any sense of comprornise for those stunning looks. ' The engine range also


means the GTC can be bought and mn for less than you might think: the entry-level 1.4-litre Turbo model checks in at-


£18,495 and offers a brisk 0-62mph time of 10.2 seconds alongside 47.1mpg combined and 140g/km of C02. . But to really tax the able


chassis, you need one of the bigger powerplants, and the ■ 2.0-litre CDTi unit has an ample 258lb.ft of torque to get you~ going. With this particular engine in


front of you, the GTC has plenty to offer. ■ The flexible nature of the'


four-cylinder diesel allows effortless acceleration, whether keeping pace with urban traffic ,

or making senous progress along a challenging B-road. The gearshift is positive and


shifts in a smooth fashion while the brakes are strong. The real challenge comes


when you power out of a tight bend, but the trick front suspension clearly does its job: the ESP light may flash at you


- if you’re really trying, but the power is put dovm cleanly and without fliss, while the steering feels uricorrupted. : So you can enjoy the GTC


without really thinking about which wheels are handling the power-always a good sign. The GTC strikes a useful ’


balarice between fun and everyday comfort.
