Naaah, I do like the astra, faced with the reality of lending your car to someone who doesn't drive very well- I'd rather lend the older car..
A few cars have crossed my mind to replace the Astra, but I see nothing under $40k that I see as a worthwhile upgrade, hence the Astra is still with me (and the fact a Boxster S 987 is still out of my budget).
