Opel Astra Super Sudan

Opel Astra Super Sudan

It was one of those lazy Sunday afternoon shopping trips with my mother. The weather was perfect and the conversation was flowing. She was going on about something that upset her that day. She was talking at a high speed in her sweet foreign wayblahhhbwahhh.blaaa - suddenly she stopped looked around and said, "This is very nice. What car are you diving today?"

It's the only time my mother ever mentioned cars in our known historyshe is more a girls' girl with girlie interest so her sudden acknowledgement of the car was a pleasant distraction from her complaints. When I told her it was an Opel, she slid further into her seat and grinned her perfect grin.

The new Opel Astra has definite distinctions, which you sense as you get behind the wheel. It has a truly beautiful interior, refined lines, subtle colours and ample space. 

It is so familiar and easy to operate, its one of those experiences that feel just right. Like that trusted, well-worn pair of Nine West heels - that look stunning, effortlessly!

A roomy and refined interior is what made a huge impression on my mother, the Astra's comfortable and supportive seats hugged and cozied her behind. We were amazed that with so much legroom in the front, even rear passengers got decent leg space.

But it was the contoured sports steering wheel which was the big plus for me and while the layout and button count were busy they were pretty straightforward and very user-friendly. 

Eager and steady on corners, the new Astra has terrific body control. The steering is precise and light for leisurely town driving. The most agile default mode - best for graceful Sunday cruising.

Chrome accents and good quality textures contributed this new Opel Astra Super Sudan having a sporting but business-like ambiance. While there are numerous creature comforts and mod cons, including a user-friendly infotainment system, powerful stereo and Bluetooth and USB connectivity for my mom and I, it was the sheer comfort of the ride.

To test drive the new Opel Astra call CMH GM Opel Umhlanga on 031 582 6300.
