Comparison of Opel Astra cars and Kia Ceed in the Hatchback body. Opel Astra or Kia Rio - what is better? Configuration and prices

German automotive companies were always considered the grandeur in the global market, and few people managed to withstand competition with them. However, in the early 2000s, Korean companies made a rapid jump, and began to produce fairly high-quality and competitive cars. Today we compare Kia LED and Opel Astra, as a result of which we can find out whether Korean engineers manage to surpass their colleagues from Europe.

Opel Astra is a legendary German car related to a compact class. It was first submitted to the public in 1991. The model name is translated as a "star" - that is, hint of marketers on a high level of car execution. Opel Astra is considered a receiver Opel Cadet. Therefore, since the last generation of cadets was called e, the debut version of Astra received the name F.

The subsequent four generation of the model were called the further letters of the English alphabet. It is worth noting that the car is still considered one of the most popular on the world market.

Kia LED is a relatively young Korean car, first submitted by the fall of 2006 in Paris. The model changed in the Cerato market. And by the way, as the developers noted, LED was created specifically for implementation in the European market. The Korean company's plants were distinguished by high productivity, and over 200,000 cars were issued for a total of 2008.

The model is based on the Hyundai I30 platform, they also have a common line of motors. In 2012, the production of second-generation LED production started, which was later recognized as the best in the segment in many countries.

What is better - Kia Ceed or Opel Astra? Since the history of the German model began in the 90s, and the car still keeps at a high level, it is Astra who looks better at this point.

Appearance

If we talk about the exterior of the car, then the situation is as follows: in the exterior of LEDs there is an unusual for this model range of brightness and futuristicity. It contrasts very much with the practical and traditional appearance of the German car. Now more about it.

In front of the LEDs installed wide windshield and dropping hood, with a pair of lateral air flows. In turn, Astra can notice the increased "lobovukhu" and an even elongated hood. The nose of both cars has a very similar design. Differences are only observed in the layout of a falseradiator lattice.

At the bottom of the bumper, the "German" is a trapezoidal air intake and huge fog, together with the running lights. And the Astra bottom bumper is equipped with a narrow air intake, which merges with compact, but at the same time very stylish tumpers.

The side of the LED is smooth and smooth, while its opponent's profile has several sharp emptyings. In all other things, cars are similar. The same situation and the feed of cars.

At this point draw.

Salon

But in terms of the interior, you can immediately allocate an explicit favorite. Of course this is Opel Astra. The interior decoration of the German car was very stylish and high-tech. It is worth noting the perfect layout of each element and excellent ergonomics.

At Sedo, the salon turned out not to be as expected to see the fans. The developers were slightly overpowered with the so-called "europeration" of the interior, and as a result, a rather unbalanced design was obtained. Astra also has a better finish, and more free space in the cabin.

Universal

Universals of models differ exclusively increased trunk, all other indicators like hatchbacks.

Specifications

In 2017, regular models updates were released. For comparison, we chose modifications equipped with 1.6-liter gasoline engines. Immediately it is worth saying that both cars are based on the front-wheel drive platform and are equipped with a six-speed automatic transmission.

Now we will analyze the motors in more detail. So, despite the same amount of 1.6 l, the power of the aggregates is different. For example, the LED engine gives 130 horsepower, which is 15 more than his German opponent. Of course, this directly affects the dynamics. To overclock the Korean car from scratch until hundreds, it is necessary to spend 11.5 C, which seems to be a phenomenal indicator, if you conduct analogies with 13.3 s at Visavi. Without surprises and in terms of consumption - against 7.1 liters, in favor of LED.

But in terms of dimensions, you can note the complete hegemony of Astra. The "German" body is longer than 109 mm and above 40 mm. The wheelbase is also more from the German car - 2685 mm against 2650 mm. The same applies to the clearance - 165 mm against 150 mm, in favor of Astra.

Price

The average cost in Russia is 935,000 rubles. For his German opponent will have to lay out 1,070,000 rubles. The difference is tangible, but it is worth remembering that the "German" also richer equipment.

Kia See'd and Opel Astra are not just two cars from one class, these are very similar cars. They possess similar shapes and optics, in the profile these two cars are generally very difficult to distinguish each other. But still, what to choose - Kia LED or Opel Astra? Let's deal with. Kia See'd is a C-class stationer. In Russia, he first appeared in 2007, and during this time he managed to change one generation: now the second model series of this popular station wagon is sold on the Russian market. Although Kia and Korean brand, he, however, positions itself as a European automaker. After all, the same "LED" is developing and produced at the company's European factories.

Opel Astra is a car with history. In fact, it is the successor of the famous Opel Cadet model. Today, the generation of j - fourth on the account is sold on the market. For Opel Astra J, the modern design of the appearance, a wide selection of gasoline engines, extensive option packages - all this makes the car the most attractive in its class.

Comparison of the appearance and interior of the salon at Kia LED and Opel Astra

The appearance of the Korean station wagon is practically no different from the hatchback: expressive headlights, the grille in the corporate style "the mouth of the tiger", only the rear Sve increased on the stern. This decision, maybe not everyone like it, but when folding the rear seats, 528 liters of luggage space increase to 1642 liters - an increase of more than three times! At the same time, an enlarged trunk is an absolutely smooth floor! In expensive equipment, the luggage compartment and the interior separates the transparent grid of black. The vehicle's spare wheel is also kept in the floor of the luggage compartment covered by a special organizer. Interior of the cabin, its ergonomics, the quality of finishing materials and the functional filling produce a worthy impression. The car is really pleasant in the car, which is especially important for long journeys.

But if you compare the interior of Opel Astra VC Kia See'd, the German loses "Korean". The interior of Opel looked modern a few years ago, today he already looks outdated. In addition, many scold the interior of a German car for the abundance of the same buttons on the front console. Finishing materials and build quality in German are kind and reliable. Armchairs in his cabin are not just comfortable, they have a special orthopedic certificate. The volume of the trunk is 500 liters, and with folded rear seats - 1550 liters. The reserve is stored under the floor of the luggage compartment, and in the trunk walls there are special niches for storing various useful trifles. The curtain, which closes the luggage compartment, has two positions: standard for the transport of oversized cargo, and raised, in order to fit large cargo in the trunk.

Astra is 20 cm longer "Side" and 5 cm above. She has more and ground clearance (+2 cm). Due to the laying optics and the radiator lattice in the form of a butterfly "LED" looks in front of more aggressively than "Astra". However, with the included LED corners "German" looks also very sporty and vigorously. In the basic configuration Kia See'd is equipped with 16-inch steel discs, in more expensive equipment - or diameter-cast discs. Opel Astra "shod" either in 16-inch wheels with caps or in 17-inch alloy wheels.

Interior

By the number of space in the cabin, these cars are similar to each other. They are comfortable and in the front, and in the back row of the seats. The steering wheel of Side, apart from its original form, is also equipped with heating, but as a disadvantage can be noted its oversaturation by the controls. Hold it in the hands is pleasant, in addition, you can still adjust its rigidity. Astra has everything classically - a three-spoke steering wheel (it is also equipped with a heating function), on which there is a convenient control of the magnetic.

The dashboard in Kia is bright and saturated. In the central well - the LCD display. The panel of "Astra" is simple and laconic: two large and two small dials. Everything is clearly visible at any time of the day. On "LED" and on the "Astra" are installed and mechanical (6 steps from Korean and 5 steps at the "German") and automatic gearbox (have a 6-range "automatic").

In the back seat "SIDE" there is a hard locking armrest with a cup holder. In addition, there are no tunnel in the middle, which would take the space in the legs of the third passenger. In general, sitting on the rear seats "Kia LED" is very comfortable. You can even pull the legs a little. The top is also enough space. The only drawback is the absence of tilt adjustments in the backs of the reverse seats. But, in general, here can be comfortable to place children, a wife and a favorite figure.

In the basic configuration "Kia LED" against "Opel Astra" in this plan looks a little worse. Although there are no power windows in the database in the database, but the armrest with the cup holder is wider than the similar device in Side. Also in the back of the armrest there is a wide hatch, opening direct access to the luggage compartment. Finally, Astra will be higher than Korean.

Comparison of technical specifications in Kia LED and Opel Astra

At Kia See'd there is a chain timing, so the owner may not worry that it can break. On Astra, the timing belt is installed. On a new car, it is quite reliable, but when buying "Astra" in the secondary market, it is necessary to pay close attention to its state, especially if the car has already managed to pass 70-80 thousand km. The automatic transmission of the "SIDE" is equipped with a torque converter. She has a good tuning, providing smooth and timely switching speeds.

It is noteworthy that Kia See'd the glass washer is located with the edge, on the right side of the hood, so it will be comfortable to pour, standing on the side of the road. In the basic configuration, Opel Astra has a 1.6-liter gasoline engine with a capacity of 115 hp. Battery capacity - 70 A / h. In addition to the increased road lumen in the basic configuration on the car, metal protection of the crankcase is installed.

In the choice of engine when comparing "Opel Astra" and "Kia LED", the latter loses the "German" with a score of 3: 1. Side has only one "atmospheric" of 1.6 liters and a capacity of 129 hp Opel also has an engine of 1.6 liters and a capacity of 115 hp, but besides it there are two more turbocharged 1.4 and 1.6 liter engines with a capacity of 140 and 170 hp. respectively.

Comparison of the functional filling "Kia LED" and "Opel Astra"

"KIA LED" is equipped with a non-functional access to the salon (this function at Astra is not even in the richest configuration) and the motor startup function by pressing the button. The driver's chair has adjustments "forward - back" and height. The steering column is also adjustable in two planes - in height and by departure. In the last two top-end sets, electric lumbar support appears at the driver's chair. A modern audio system with 6 speakers and a touch screen is installed on Kia See'd, which is displayed from the rear view camera.

In the last three sets, Kia LEDs have a darkening function of the salon mirror. It is activated if the mirror falls brightly distant light behind the riding car. Also in the top equipment, a virtual dashboard is installed in the form of a color display with a good picture and excellent color reproduction.

In the top pack of Cosmo, the driving chair "Opel Astra" appears a retractable armrest with an additional compartment. In any equipment between the driver and the passenger, three cup holders are installed. In the database, the manual brake is mechanical, but the electric parking brake can be installed for the surcharge. Side has an electric parking brake in the top trim edges. Electric windows are displayed on the central panel "Astra" plus electrical adjustment keys of mirrors, which are equipped with another folding function and electrically heating.

For an additional fee in the Opel Astra pack, you can install the Flexrite's active chassis, which can change the settings not only the chassis, but also the gearbox, as well as the steering wheel and accelerator settings. You can also maintain a rotary bixenon with 8 automatic modes.

Conclusion

So, what is better "Kia LED" or "Opel Astra"? If we talk about the dynamics of movement, then the 1.6-liter atmospheric "Korean" loses two turbocharged engines "German". But if the Korean automaker will update the line of engines from Side, adding also turbocharged motors, then this universal is simply price. After all, this is a really cool car with a good modern appearance, a large set of options and a comfortable interior. And therefore for a long time it should not be dismissively refer to the KIA nameplate. Because the only drawback of this wagon is the absence of more powerful engines that could fully express the entire sports essence of this Korean car.

Hatchbacks, as well as compact, enjoy high popularity in the European market, and also sold very well in Russia. Buyers have to be not easy when choosing a similar car, as the range is huge, and almost every automaker is ready to offer its own option.

As far as objective, you can call the comparison of these two cars, judge for yourself. The last generation hatchbacks from Kia and Opel companies will be presented. The problem is that Kia is officially represented in the Russian Federation, while Opel, due to economic problems, left the Russian market back in 2015.

But the presence of gray dealers, as well as other opportunities to purchase even a new Opel Astra in Russia allow you to compare these two cars and decide which of the two hatchbacks is better.

General information about models

Let's start with Opel Astra. The fifth generation of the representative of the European Class C, which is often called the golf class is relevant. Officially, the model debuted in 2015 in Frankfurt. Literally immediately after the show in Europe, sales started. For obvious reasons, the new Astra did not get to Russia.

The Opel Astra K is based on the D2xx modular platform. It was used when creating a second generation of Chevrolet Cruze. The design consists of high strength steel, which made it possible to reduce the weight of the hatchback in comparison with the predecessor by 120-200 kilograms. There is an independent suspension with MacPherson racks, and a semi-dependent beam. Steering is equipped with an electric powerful. Brakes everywhere disk, and there are also ventilated ahead.

Kia Ceed refers to the same European C-class. This is an advanced small hatchback that Kia has created a special for the European market. The car is newer, since its official debut took place in February 2018. Generation change led to the use of a simplified name, because earlier the car was called as CEED. Plus, new motors appeared in the car, the list of modern filling and actual equipment was significantly expanded.

The third generation of KIA CEED was created on the front-wheel drive platform K2, in which the motor is located transversely. It also worth noting the use of high strength steel. On the front axis, independent suspension with MacPherson racks, and behind a multi-dimensional independent design. The robes steering mechanism is complemented by an active electric powerful. All wheels are disc brakes with ventilation system on the front axle.

For KIA CEED a new generation, a system for selecting a vehicle mode is provided. It offers an option Normal and Sport. Thereby adapts the character of the car at the request of the driver. The behavior of the motor, response and steering wheel is changing.

Exterior

The new hatchback from Kia turned out to be whipped, quite sports outwardly, elegant and modern. Here the designers involved solutions used on Liftbek Stinger.

If earlier Opel Astra was quite a conservative and restrained car, then in the new generation the car became much brighter. Auto can safely be called cheeky and sports.

It is impossible to say that some of the cars are more beautiful. Both cars are made with good knowledge of the case. Designers do not in vain get their salary. For each hatchback there is its own army of fans, and good statistics for sales of this direct confirmation.

The fifth generation of Astra, despite its dimensions, continues to remain within the framework of the European Class. But if you compare with the previous generation, then the actual Astra has decreased markedly. As a result, we are dealing with such dimensions:

length 4370 mm.;
width 1809 mm.;
height 1485 mm.;
wheel base 2662 mm.

If you compare with the predecessor, then the current generation of Astra lost 50 mm. In length and was 26 mm. below.

Kia Ceed has also been a pretty compact car. This is expressed in the following parameters:

length 4310 mm.;
width 1800 mm.;
heights 1447 mm.;
wheel base 2650 mm.

And although the fifth Astra has become smaller in comparison with the 4th generation, the new German brand is still superior to the overall sizes of a competitor from the South Korean manufacturer.

It is too early to make any conclusions. Despite the superiority in the dimensions, they still need to be properly disposed. It mainly concerns the inner space and the luggage compartment.

Interior and trunk

The internal space of KIA CEED can be described as attractive, modern and European. There are no complaints of finishing and used materials.

At its disposal the driver turned out to be a multifunctional steering wheel with 3 spokes, a relief rim, a sporty decorated dashboard. The central console is simultaneously solid and concise. It contains a multimedia system display with a size of 5 to 8 inches, ventilation deflectors, as well as a climate control unit with intuitive controllers.

The five-door salon is made. Plastic is pleasant to the touch, inserts for metal, fabric, natural and artificial leather are involved in the correct proportions.

Kia Ceed Salon is designed for 5 seats, including the driver. There are ergonomic chairs ahead with severe side support and a wide range of adjustments. Rear is also a very good sofa with armrests, oriented for 2 passengers. Although landing in the middle will not create special discomfort.

When changing generation for Opel Astra, a completely new filling and the design principle of the cabin was used. The driver has a convenient three-spin steering wheel, a variety of control buttons, analog dashboard and a color display of an on-board computer. The central console is decorated with a touch multimedia display. This made it possible to significantly reduce the number of ordinary buttons. The climate control was involved in a separate unit. But in the database, the car looks much easier, because the steering wheel is not multifunctional, and the central console is air conditioning and the usual audio system.

The front armchairs are ergonomic, comfortable, with good lateral support. It is heated, ventilation and a wide range of settings available. There is quite a lot of space from behind, the side places are supplemented with heating, the sofa is comfortable and comfortable.

In terms of interior, it is impossible to give any of the candidates. Too successfully, everything is performed on Kia Ceed and Opel Astra.

Perhaps some conclusions will allow an assessment of the luggage compartment to select between Opelm Astra or Kia Ceed.

German hatchback in a hiking position offers 370 liters of space in the trunk. If you lower the backs of the second row, a smooth floor is obtained, and cargo possibilities increase to 1210 liters.

The South Korean five-door hatchback trunk has the right shape and even walls. In the usual position, the space is 395 liters. And if you fold the rear row, the trunk will increase to 1301 liters. Under Falsefol, there is a dance and tools.

Despite the superiority of Astra on dimensions, KIA CEED provides a slightly large volume of the luggage compartment. And this did not affect the taller space negative.

If you summarize, then with a small otue, and purely due to the trunk, Kia Ceed wins.

Motors, boxes and their capabilities

Next, there will be a comparison between cars Opel Astra and Kia Ceed, which is difficult to name objective in relation to the Russian market. All the way precisely in the care of the company Opel from the Russian Federation. It is not known what kind of motors were offered for Russian consumers, stay in the local market.

But since the machines are imported and without the participation of official dealers, each of the Motors available for Astra can potentially be at your disposal.

The fifth generation of Opel Astra is sold with a very wide line of engines.

Basic performs a 3-cylinder volume of only 1.0 liter, which generates 105 horsepower. Combined with a mechanical or robotic box. Each of them has 5 steps. Overclocking from place to hundreds takes from 11.2 to 12.7 seconds. And the maximum speed is 200 km / h. On average, the consumption of about 4.4 liters per 100 km is expected to consume.
The following in the hierarchy there is an atmospheric 4-cylinder engine for 1.4 liters with a return of 100 horses. Box non-alternative 5-speed mechanical. Acceleration until hundreds takes 12.3 sec. The maximum speed is 185 kilometers per hour, and the mixed fuel consumption is about 5.4 liters per 100 km. Ways.
Next, there is a 4-cylinder completely aluminum turbo engine for 1.4 liters with 125 or 150 horses, depending on the degree of forsing. The younger option is completed with 6MCPP, and for the 150-strong version there is a choice between 6 MCPP and 6ACP. From 0 to 100 km / h with such motors ASTRA accelerates for 9.5 and 8.3 seconds, respectively. The maximum speed can reach 205 and 215 kilometers per hour. At the same time, the consumption is only 5.1-5.5 liters per 100 km.
There is still a 4-cylinder diesel engine with turbocharging. Its volume is 1.6 liters. But the degrees of forcing at once 3. They give out 95, 110 and 136 horsepower. Boxes are offered 6-speed mechanical and 6-band automatic. Acceleration from a seat up to 100 km / h ranks from 12.7 to 9.6 seconds. The maximum speed can be from 185 to 205 kilometers per hour. Diesels consumption from 4.6 to 3.5 liters of fuel per 100 km.

High-power motors are also available for Astra. But here we are already talking about special grades, in which the engines generate about 200 horsepower with a volume of only 1.6 liters.

As for Kia Ceed, there is a specific line of engines intended for the Russian market. And all the motors have 4 cylinders and operate on gasoline.

The role of the younger DVS is assigned to a 1,4-liter atmosphere for 100 horsepower;

The next is the MPI motor with a volume of 1.6 liters and returns to 128 horsepower;

A turbodiel motor for 1.4 liters is also offered. It gives 140 horsepower and is considered to be top in the line.

All atmospheric motors are regularly equipped with a 6-speed manual gearbox. But as an option for a motor 128 horsepower is available 6-speed automatic box. The turbodiesel engine is equipped with only a 7-band robotic box.

Overclocking from zero to hundreds takes from 12.6 to 9.2 seconds. The maximum speed is from 183 to 205 kilometers per hour. In the mixed cycle, gasoline engines consume from 7.3 to 6.1 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers through the path.

For the European market in the line of KIA CEED engines, a 1.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engine is added with a return of 120 horses, as well as a 1.6-liter turbodiesel generating 115 and 136 horsepower, depending on the forcing.

In technical plan, if you look at the motors, boxes and their parameters, Opel Astra can only a little ahead of Kia Ceed. And here we are talking rather only about top engines.

KIA CEED offers only gasoline in Russia, which, by definition, cannot demonstrate the same efficiency as diesel power plants. But the gasoline aggregates in Astra turned out to be a bit more economical with similar power parameters.

If you need a hatchback with a mode of medium power and good performance in fuel consumption, then there is no fundamental difference between Astra and Ceed. You can safely take any of these cars. And those who want to take a car with extreme in the power of the engine, should look towards Astra. Ceed similar motors in their arsenal has no. Moreover, it is quite logical and rationally, since the demand for engines with a return of about 200 horsepower is much lower than on aggregates with a capacity of 110-140 horses.

Security and handling

Claims for the quality and efficiency of car control Kia Ceed and Opel Astra is not. Steering is thought out well, implemented perfectly.

Machines behave perfectly at high speed, confidently come in turns, do not create excessive rolls. The response to the steering steps is instant, nothing is late and does not slow down. Machines are firmly enough for the road surface and provide stability even when driving at high speeds.

Hatchback Opel Astra.

Security parameters are also identical. Cars comply with security standards, which are extremely rigid in Europe. As part of the crash tests on the EURO NCAP system, both hatchback fairly received high points.

On this component between competitors is a confident sign of equality. Both cars received a wide range of active and passive safety systems, all sorts of electronic row and helpers for the driver while driving.

Therefore, to compare with each other Opel Astra and Kia Ceed, determining one unambiguous favorite, failed in terms of safety and manageability. They are worthy of each other. No wonder Ceed and Astra demonstrate excellent sales statistics in Europe. It is impossible to judge sales in Russia, because only Korean car is officially implemented here.

Configuration and prices

European sales of the last generation of the Opel Astra car in the body of the hatchback began in the fall of 2015. It was originally planned that Astra would be sold in Russia since 2016, but then the company's plans changed, and the brand was completely left from the local market.

In Germany, the actual version of the car Opel Astra costs about 20 thousand euros at least. For more advanced configurations will have to give more than 23 thousand. Extreme versions are at all over 25 thousand euros. It will not be difficult to calculate how much such a car will cost in terms of Russian national currency. This is about 1.5 million rubles.

In the case of KIA CEED cars, everything is much clearer and more transparent than in the situation with Opel Astra cars.

For the Russian market, 6 complete sets are offered. For the basic version will have to give at least 950 thousand rubles. It will be a 100 horsepower motor and a 6-speed manual box. From equipping the car owner will receive:

air conditioning;
light sensor;
window lines on all windows;
heated mirrors;
GLONASS;
audio system for 6 columns;
steel discs by 15 inches, etc.

Comfort equipment, which goes the second in the hierarchy of the equipment, offers a 128-strong engine and a transmission box. It costs from 980 thousand rubles, and for the machine will have to lay out another 40 thousand rubles.

The top-end version of Kia Ceed is worth a minimum of 1.5 million rubles. A set of equipment will be fantastic:

lED optics everywhere;
hatch on electric drive;
the tracking system for blind zones;
assistant parking reversal;
adaptive cruise control;
road sign recognition system;
automatic braking;
two-zone climate control;
multimedia Center with Touch Display;
rear View Camera;
front and rear parking sensors;
audio system from JBL, etc.

Yes, Opel Astra also boasts a solid set of equipment. But with about the same level of equipment, Astra will cost about 2 million rubles, while the same can be obtained in Ceed for 1.5 million.

Despite the lack of Opel official dealers in Russia, you can still confidently say that the German Hatchback Astra is more expensive than its South Korean competitor.

Let's sum up

If you want to buy a car through an official dealer, then the choice between the seeds in question loses its relevance. Here you can only take only Kia Ceed.

Abstraught from the Russian market, it is worth noting that Opel Astra has an amazing appearance, a good cabin decoration, magnificent ergonomics, excellent specifications and a whole placer of other advantages.

At the same time, Kia Ceed offers almost all the same. Yes, in some places, South Korean hatchback is inferior to the competitor, but also has its own trees before Astra. The feature is only that Kia Ceed is cheaper, and it can be bought in Russia through the official dealer. This removes a number of additional problems due to Opel's departure.

Another client will be) Koreans nothing.
I will say the author that it was from scratch 55000 bypassing in 2008 at 10 Soldated Changed was 1 Light Bulb of the room, Shumka is good for this class, even if in this money to take a disqualled version with 1.8, then my choice is accurate in favor of Astra. And so ride suphat that closer. That and that can be how to delight and upset reliability. Here look good and element of luck)

but I took a fresher year.
But again, I have restyling, in 320 you can take dorestayling 2007-2008. Differences by the way, a little at all) a bit in the cabin and externally a couple of refinement, "Facelift" so to speak. I go now and glad) in Astra went, did not like the salon at all in any way. (Img: style_emoticons / default / mellow.gif) boring torpedo.

It's stupidity ... On the Sides of Restaylov, from the 10th year, only the "New" beautiful viscement panel, the muzzle is changed to an amateur, behind the diodes stick out, and in fact there is nothing new, cheap Korean was cheap and stayed, and this cheapness is shifted everywhere , especially when you go. Astra is also not for millionaires, but somehow not so cheap gives, it's going to be resistant, noiseing on the head above Sid, well, the design there and here on an amateur, but for this money the design of the design is ingredient !!!

Opel Astra H (2006-2008)
IMHO morally outdated machinery compared to Kia LED. And eats a lot of gasoline (img: style_emoticons / default / biggrin.gif)

What is interesting than?
What on Ashka has a six-step to any motor, and on Side only to 2l.
That on the Opel rear discs ventilated on Side NO
Astra 5-6 full-fledged cans modules allowing programming (finishing brakes, light packets, etc.) and on the Side- one motor?

there are no diodes!

So if you do not know the car, do not speak better)

did you go to her?) Where is there any cheapness translucent?))
10 airbags, soft torpedo and soft plastic on door trimming, this is also low cost?)
there are no diodes!
The supervision panel is only on the prestige bundle.
So if you do not know the car, do not speak better)

roll into and after a couple of months begin to more soberly assess the car

Relative to Astra N mileage more than 140,000 km. 1.6 Mechanics, Benz, the simplest package itself. Rides, trouble does not know. When I bought, everyone was dissolved. In the end, it does not regret.

I went to Sids, do not like absolutely. No one is on my opinion, but externally and internally. In Astra, at least there is something in this angular design. But, taste and color, as they say ...

I would search for Astra H in the configuration of Cosmo.

I can't say anything about Astra - not familiar. But as the previous owner of Sid nimble33. I vote for LEDs))
Only good impressions remained about cars. And the configuration of the Koreans are good, the quality of the materials of the finish, the buns are much larger than that of a car similar class ...
Well, the big plus Koreans are low prices for parts (I had to spend only on consumables). Service is simple \u003d cheap service. This is in fact. Without lyrics.

Both cars with excellent comfortable interior and high-quality exterior design. Machines are leading in their class among such hatchbacks.

These cars belong to one segment are similar to hatchbacks. They have about the same dimensions, also light engineering. In today's review, we will disassemble which car is better suitable for our conditions and roads.

The exterior of the Korean model looks harmonious and nicely, there is no aggressiveness in it.
