This is for the buyer who wants a small car with a separate boot rather than a hatch opening. The Astra Sedan joins the hatch in Holden's small car range, aimed at private buyers and fleets who prefer the look and security of a boot. It lines up against the Toyota Corolla sedan, Mazda3 sedan and Hyundai Elantra.
Amelia's test finds a roomy back seat, a large boot and easy going manners around town. The engine is willing enough for the commute and the cabin keeps things simple and sensible. On Australian roads it rides comfortably and stays quiet on the motorway, which suits buyers who clock up the kilometres.
If you like the idea of a small car with a real boot at a sharp price, the Astra Sedan does the job. Buyers who want the latest tech or hybrid economy will look at the Corolla. For straightforward value, this Holden is an easy car to live with.
