    Great review. It took me a moment to get into this presenter's groove but I really liked the way he pointed out some of those things that can really annoy and spoil your ownership experience, such as those sharp buttons on the steering wheel. I'd love to see a comparison with the new i30 SR.

    Awesome review. 'Story' - theme 🙂
    Out of 2019 Mazda3, Corolla Hybrid, i30, Astra was best to drive. Heated steering wheel and remote start nice for Canberra, Melbourne and Tassie winters.

    Great review I have the Astra back in the UK and great to get an Aussie perspective. Laughed at questioning the need for a heated steering wheel over there! True 👍

    I actually bought one of these BECAUSE it had a heated steering wheel. I leave for a 35 minute commute to work in Sydney before the sun comes up and with previous cars, my hands were still freezing when I got to there because of the cold steering wheel. I had to wear gloves on the colder mornings when driving during winter. My motorcycle has heated grips and I used to complain to friends about why cars wouldn't have the same. When I found out the Astra RS-V had a heated steering wheel, I bought one. Best decision ever. I love it.

    Cruise control speed increase of 5km/h intervals is annoying. You literally have to catch it out by hitting set with your foot perfectly balanced with the correct throttle input to set at 2 or 3km/h in between.

    Australian suspension tuning means make the spring harder and dampers stiffer because we have bumpy roads and they want you to feel it...

    Thank you for the video like most comparisons they are subjective on personal choice stuff ..btw the 6 speed manual I can say performs fantastic as for comfort well I am not 1.9 tall so apart from the centre console every thing is on par or better than its competitors

    Where did you get this bloke from... anyway, I have the 2017 RS-V Manual and I couldn't be happier, it's a beautiful car, drives like no other, I had the 2013 Opel Astra 1.4 Turbo prior and this new RS-V has outshone it by far., just an all round beautiful car. Highly recommend., Oh I bought a demo model for $20,888 with 8430 ks on the clock. Worth the savings.

    • @G0A1

      Dellacondan buy a focus if you want constant issues with the power shift transmission and buy a gold if you want to pay $700 for a service.

      If I lived in Melbourne I would need heated undies first then worry about steering wheels later. If I DID live in Melbourne I would have to end myself so heated steering wheels are irrelevant I guess

      And that's why you buy the RS and not the RS-V. Save money not getting the useless crap, but it still has the 1.6L turbo engine

    Manual isn't better than automatic even maybe worse. It is due to emission regulation. No solution here. Just hoping a new software for automatic that will set up the transmission with a better response. Meanwhile I suggest to run all the time on sport mode.
