Product Overview

Opel Astra H (chassis code A04) Sedan is an affordable compact sedan in production from 2004 to 2010. It was available with a range of inline-4 engines that displaced 1.3 to 2.4 liters. GM also marketed the Astra H as Chevrolet Astra, Holden Astra, Saturn Astra, Vauxhall Astra, and Chevrolet Vectra in different regions of the world.
As a global car, the Astra H had numerous variations and powertrain configurations. However, the general design remained rather consistent, such that one could tell it is the same vehicle.
Unfortunately, the powertrain on the Astra H is rather weak. It also used a solid axle for the rear suspension. Even though the car had an overall acceptable physical design, it was rather uncompetitive.
