looking at getting a new car and the astra seems to meet all the criteria's i'm after. the 1.9cdti sri is the model i'm looking at.
Astra 06 sri
i'v got a few questions that need answering.
what are the controls on the steering wheel? does it come with cruise control? is there a list of models from lowest spec to highest spec astra's as i'm not to sure when it comes to vauxhall's?
and any general advice really.

I may be wrong, but that to me seems very cheap for one of those.
Controls on steering wheel are all for stereo.
Specs for every model can be found here: http://www.parkers.co.uk/cars/reviews/vauxhall/astra-sport-hatch-2005.aspx?page=7
not sure on cruise control

1.9 150 is the better engine. as for the spec, ring up and ask them, but the steering wheel controls are for the audio.
personally i would go for the sri xp

id say thats a bit overpriced for a 4 year old astra with 78k.
my mum got her 1.7 sxi brand new 2 years ago for 7.5k

Price is quite high for year and mileage, i paid £7k for mine with xp and 59k miles.
120 and 150bhp are the same engine prividing they are both the 16v(oil cap on right of engine)
Watch out for EGR Valves/Flywheels and Swirl flaps on pre facelift models. Defo go for the xp if you can find one.
