If you are looking for a stylish and comfortable hatch to
whizz you around town then you might want to consider the well endowed Opel Astra GTC Coupé to warm your laurels. Ok, but let’s be honest now, it’s not an absolute
stunner in terms of speed and racing around town but it has more than enough
power to keep you happy, very happy.
Launched earlier this year, The Opel Astra GTC Coupé offers superb
styling that simply can’t be denied and GTC owners will definitely turn heads
on the road. The Opel Astra GTC comes in two versions, the Enjoy with a 103kW 1.4
litre turbocharged petrol engine and the Sport with a 132kW 1.6 litre turbocharged
petrol engine.
Although not excessively brutal in terms of power, there is
enough power to drive on the aggressive end of the scale with ease but it won’t
necessarily make your heart explode. Fuel consumption for the Sport version is
quoted at 6.8 litres / 100km with a top speed of 220km/h. What’s great about
the GTC is its supposedly excellent ride quality and superb handling, thanks to
its HiPerStrut front suspension. Also, the interior is comfortable and snazzy
and has more than enough space for your averaged sized adults with a luggage
capacity of up to 1165 litres.
Standard features include cruise control, six airbags,
climate control, 7-speaker sound system with USB connectivity and Bluetooth
capability as well as an electronic handbrake. Heated leather seats will also
keep you warm this winter.
The warmest part of the Opel Astra GTC is its price, R304 000
to be exact, which isn’t a bad deal considering that the GTC is a quality and
well specced proposition. The price includes a 5-year/120 000km warranty and a
5-year/90 000km service plan. It might also be worth remembering that the high- performance OPC version will be launched later this year, something to look out for...
