2008 Saturn (Opel) Astra XR Four Door Hatch. 2008 Saturn ASTRA Pros and Cons Member5706 The driving experience this car offers is unmatched for the price you'll pay for it.

2009 Saturn ASTRA Pros and Cons A member in Quebec, Canada Very nice cornering abilitites, on the stock 16" rims. Steering is very responsive and crisp. |
|
2008 Saturn ASTRA Pros and Cons Member3649 This car is set up with the original suspension before being "grey marketed" to the NA market. In short, it handles like it does with the stronger powerplant in Europe. |

2008 Saturn ASTRA Pros and Cons A member in Ontario, Canada Handling in this car is the BEST very tight corners very well and it keep to the ground during high speed maneuvers |
|
2008 Saturn ASTRA Pros and Cons A member in Illinois, United States The Sport Suspension Package is the best $400 upgrade I could have paid for. I love to drive corners and this makes it so much better than the standard suspension. I drove both. The rubber is better on the 17" rims as well. It has very little body roll. |

2008 Saturn ASTRA Pros and Cons A member in Louisiana, United States Hugs the road - very low body-roll. I test drove the Astra and then the Focus - no comparision! Feels very sporty and braking is solid as well. |

2008 Saturn ASTRA Pros and Cons A member in Texas, United States The car actually moves when I barely move the steering wheel. |
|
2008 Saturn ASTRA Pros and Cons Member3084 I do not have the sport package on my car. However, the steering is sharp. It handles almost as well as our MINI without the harsh ride. |
|
2008 Saturn ASTRA Pros and Cons Member3065 It handles confidently with immediate turn-in and minimal body roll. |
|
2008 Saturn ASTRA Pros and Cons Member2903 I love the way it handles, it grips the road. |
|
2008 Saturn ASTRA Pros and Cons A member in Pennsylvania, United States Best Handling car I ever drove |
|
2008 Saturn ASTRA Pros and Cons Member3011 The handling is phenomenol on this car. Far superior to the econo boxes it competes against on price. In the magazine tests they always compare it w/ much more expensive and faster hatch backs seemingly not realizing that the Astra costs thousands less. |
|
2008 Saturn ASTRA Pros and Cons Member3002 Very precise handling on street and highway. No play in the steering like many vehicles I have driven. |
|
2008 Saturn ASTRA Pros and Cons Member1928 The Astra handles better than any other car I have driven! Little to no lean on any corners! Good acceleration for throttle by wire, plus the tap feature if needed. |
|
2008 Saturn ASTRA Pros and Cons A member in California, United States I like its standard ABS, Stabilitrack feature, four disk brakes that gives me confidence on the curves. The steering wheel is responsive to me, and the car does not lean very far to one side when performing a turn at twice the recommended speed. |
|
2008 Saturn ASTRA Pros and Cons Member2890 Impressive handling compared to other cars in other classes. |
|
2008 Saturn ASTRA Pros and Cons A member in Massachusetts, United States Sticks to the road. Turns with very little effort. Goes around the curves like a beast |
|
2008 Saturn ASTRA Pros and Cons Member2220 The sport handling package really makes this car handle well on turns, curves and lane changes. |
|
2008 Saturn ASTRA Pros and Cons Member2330 The most surefooted car i have ever driven |
