@BONG475 cont. on £10 diesel you shold expect to get around 45 mile, this is because the engine components will be tight and will gradually loosen up (called running in), once ran in you should expect to get the figure mentioned before. also you ma get a code come up to do with the diesel particulate filter), dont worry though all you need to do is drive keeping the rev range above 2k rpm untill the code goes away. hope this helps, any more q's fire away n ill try n help.

cardoctor2k9 commented on 13 Jan 2012

@BONG475 normal city driving (i.e 30-40mph) you would be doing roughly 1250-1500rpm,i have found that around 170rpm is the most econimical rev range. as to estates using moere fuel,this really depends on how much weight you have in the the car. obviously estates carry more so therefore mor. estates simply offer more room in the boot etc, therefore more wight in the car etc. take no notice of the shift light, tends to ask you to shift early and make the engine labour.

@BONG475 your very welcome, yes that is the model i have. very good car indeed, one other point worth mentioning, sometimes the handbrake doesent apply propperly so you need to make sure it has, you should here the motor (when there is no other noise) and feel the brake pedal go down a bit further. this can be rectified upon speeking to your dealer. overall though i give the car a 9/10. best of luck with your car. regards chris

@cardoctor2k9 yes thank's alot for that information, this car being an estate will consume more fuel than a normal 5 door astra?, and i have just bought an astra 1.7 diesel the 125bhp version and that is why i asked this question. and just to ask again local normal driving keeping the rev's below 3rpm. on 10 pound diesel would give me atleast 60 miles?

BONG475 commented on 15 Jan 2012

Thanks alot for your information the model i am getting is the 1.7cdti ecoflex range, and the combined figure is i think roughly 65mpg, and i was aware of the diesel particulate filter issue, every so often the light comes up and u keep high rpm's so it can burn away the particulates?. so in my mind i had roughly 75 miles to £10 of diesel

cardoctor2k9 commented on 02 Jan 2012

from £10 of diesel which at the moment seems to be just over a gallon i can get approx. 50-100 miles, all depending on the conditions etc and how its driven. since making this video i have been getting more often then not 45mpg. hope this helps and thanks for watching.

cardoctor2k9 commented on 15 May 2013

As far as im aware they drive the same, obviously with weight in it wont return the same kind of figures as the estate. Average mpg for me was 45-50mpg thats a mixture of town and motorway driving. Hope this helps.

ive just got the 1.7 tdci astra van club mk5 (60) is there any differences to the way its drives or the expected mpg when compared to the estate ?

BONG475 commented on 11 Jan 2012

@cardoctor2k9 and to add to that my car is on order so will be getting it at the end of this month hopefully

BONG475 commented on 02 Jan 2012

you say you are getting 38mph, how many miles does your car get out of 10 pounds worth of diesel mate?

I had an 2009 type r gt before I traded it in for this astra and I've got to say I'm very impressed with the build quality the e engine isn't as smooth but it is a fantastic car and looks great well done Vauxhall!!

This model looks great.Though my friend who just bought one is complaining that water gets into the cabin when it rains.

Sam Rogiers commented on 14 Mar 2016

Really doubting between the astra and corsa here. It's gonna be my first car and I gonna buy it secondhand
