Wheels has an 11 car comparison test in this month's edition.
Basically all the new small hatchbacks
Proud to say that the Astra CD came second to the new Mazda3.
Not bad for a car that is 6 years older in design than the new 3.
They praise the torquey engine and fine handling/ride compromise.
Criticise the boring interior and optional ABS.
Conversely the criticise the Mazda3 for it poor NVH (engine and tyre noise) and pedal placement.
