In 2005, at the Istanbul Motor Show, she made a very successful debut Opel model Astra Sedan third generation (index "H"). The group's marketers took into account that the popularity of sedans in the countries of Eastern Europe and in Turkey it goes uphill, in contrast to the west, where motorists are gradually changing to more compact hatchbacks.
Therefore, the production of new items, in order to avoid unnecessary transportation costs, was placed closer to a potential consumer - at the factory. General Motors in Polish Gliwice, and 3 years later, the assembly of the popular Opel Astra sedan (now with the prefix "Family") for the CIS market was established in Russian Kaliningrad.
Outwardly, this family sedan with a voluminous trunk (almost 500 liters) is completely different from its predecessor, the Astra G. car Astra H Sedan is given a low hood, deliberately elongated lines, a high, sharply chopped off trunk. Putting the sedan on an extended station wagon chassis, the designers increased wheelbase up to 2703 mm, thanks to which the interior has become more spacious, the second-row sofa has moved back, freeing up sufficient legroom for passengers. Installed on the Astra Family sedan, the front and rear optics design, completely unusual for Opel, enhances the impression of the car's aspiration forward, brings it closer to cars sports class. Negative bezel tilt tailgate- not only a style reception, such a doorway, and even a fair width, makes landing in the back seat easy, without fear of hitting your head.
If we talk about technical characteristics, then under the hood Astra sedan Family - "ecotech" with a volume of 1.6 liters and a capacity of 115 hp. or a more voluminous version - a 1.8 liter one hundred and forty-sixth unit. For lovers of riding in their own, special style, the machine is equipped with a five-speed automated mechanical box Easytronic transmissions, and those who are content with standard driving modes can purchase a complete set with a four-speed automatic transmission. All this miracle of technology rests on an IDS chassis (interactive driving system) with front MacPhersons and rear axle with a torsion beam - a patented novelty from Opel.
Inside Opel Astra H Sedan - the usual, classic style of "Opel" corporate design. The protruding center console improves the impression of the cabin and updated panel control with three-dimensional devices. The front seats do away with the shortcomings of the 'G' model - they are now stiffer, almost sporty, and even bolstered. Adjustments driver's seat intuitive, it is quite easy to set it to your liking, and the steering column is adjustable in such a wide range that you can sit with your arms outstretched forward, or you can, as in a sports “landing”, hold the steering wheel closer to your chest, bending your elbows at an acute angle.
A test drive showed that on the go the Opel Astra Family sedan is very good, with some stretch it can even be called " sports sedan". Even with the 1.6 engine, the acceleration time to hundreds does not exceed 11.5 seconds. During a test drive of a serial sample without the slightest modification to top speed, limited by electronics - 191 km / h, the car accelerated quite easily, without strain. The sample with automatic transmission turned out to be less responsive, even the inclusion of the sport mode, although it sharpened the reaction to pressing the accelerator, but did not equalize it with a manually controlled colleague. Suspension for city driving low speed seemed a little harsh - large potholes were felt throughout the body. But on the highway, the car did not notice irregularities, it entered turns with slight roll, but without the slightest encroachments to skidding. General impression didn’t even spoil the section of the route under the sign “road repair” - on large potholes the trajectory is not lost, the steering wheel does not hit the hands, and passengers on back seat shaking was not felt at all.
To disadvantages Astra models Sedan H can be attributed to a fairly large "dead zone" rear view- a trifle that is pretty annoying when parking in a narrow space.
In operation, this sedan is not an expensive car. Gasoline consumption in the combined cycle does not exceed 10 liters per hundred, even with a 1.8 engine with an automatic transmission. Parts, a significant part of which are manufactured at domestic enterprises, are easy to buy, and those parts that are produced abroad are unified with similar units from many European and Asian manufacturers. Going through the catalogs of several companies, you can always find enough cheap analogue required part.

Owner reviews Opel Astra Family Sedan
In general, the car looks very impressive, while not only I think so. I've been driving the car for 6 months now and there have been no breakdowns in all this time. All units work flawlessly. The climate is always set to auto-mode, sometimes only temperature indicators I can adjust. I only encountered minor factory imperfections: for example, the fan was with a wire that was screwed in poorly, and the normal opening of the tailgate was also not adjusted (there was a real problem in the cold). I went to the service, so everything was very quickly eliminated there, at the same time, since warranty service and no one asked me any questions. You only need to add fuel and anti-freeze. First Opel time Astra Family Sedan spent more than indicated in the TCP, but this moment on the highway, the consumption is 6.5 liters, if you drive no more than 110 km / h. By Opel road Astra Family Sedan goes very confidently, it feels like it's becoming a glove. The car goes quietly to overtake, while I feel that I am not forcing the engine. The "maximum speed" of this car is 210 km / h. If you drive at a speed of no more than 100 km / h, then in general there are no complaints about the motor in terms of noise, it works very quietly. Regarding the interior design, in this regard, the car will give odds to many of its classmates. For the entire period, only once it turned out that the suspension broke through, but in general the car is just “bouncy”. Torpedo with head unit, tearing out the particles does not make any sense at all, perhaps automatic volume control, depending on what speed you are driving.
Advantages : excellent dynamics, comfort, reliability, exterior.
Flaws : I do not see.

Opel Astra Family Sedan, 2009
The car was bought immediately after new year holidays, full set, gave 24 thousand dollars for this case. I bought "shoes" for the winter, daily operation in city mode. I can say that I am 100% satisfied with the car. winter period operation was still the same, but the Opel Astra Family Sedan really showed itself with better side. Here’s what classmate you don’t take, but Astra is really the coolest. In terms of value for money, quality and comfort. There are no “crickets” in the car, although especially in winter I had to drive along such sections of the road that just don’t worry mom! Perhaps this is due to the fact that the car was not collected from us. Seriously, even if you close your eyes and sit down at Opel steering wheel Astra Family Sedan then you'll feel like it's real German quality. The Germans know a lot about good cars. I read somewhere that they drove the Opel Astra Family Sedan to go fishing, and all sorts of picnics, so I can full confidence I can say that I can believe it, because a car with a strong semi-sports suspension, good clearance, while driving there is no feeling that you are driving some kind of floating jellied meat. I just thought about whether it is worth buying 17-inch 205 tires, although this business is registered, but no matter who I talked to, no one from Astrovodov ever bought such rubber for himself. In respect of appearance, then it will be more rigid and brutal.
Advantages : trunk volume, noise insulation, audio system.
Flaws : Consumption is slightly too high.
