Not anywhere near as attractive as the i30 Tourer and only a 1.8 petrol Auto by the look of it (Engine outputs would suggest far from sporty) Well equipped though...

We test drove a Cruze sedan when we were looking to trade our 1st i30 and it felt very dark and claustrophobic inside .. not very appealing at all..

Yes a lot better Brian .. I actually ordered a manual CDX Astra wagon before getting our 1st i30 but when it took ages to come from Belgium and the couldn't promise me my chosen colour I switched to the i30  :winker:

The ended up with just a petrol auto option in that before they stopped importing it.

Pretty ordinary looking wagon even with all those engine options.

Our market is smaller than yours, they may add more variants later ...

Thanks Rusty (about what I expected) Interesting there is a Diesel Auto option in the base model only  :undecided: (Not that I would want one even if the range was wider)
