New Astra has been promoted to "recommended buy" by Eurotax-Schwacke and Bähr and Fess Forecasts

Shortly after the introduction of the new-generation Opel/Vauxhall Astra it has been promoted to "recommended buy" by Eurotax-Schwacke and Bähr and Fess Forecasts. Both organizations operate Europe-wide and are well-known for their residual value forecasts, which is a strong purchase argument for European customers.

According to the Eurotax-Schwacke and Bähr and Fess Forecasts the Astra will lose only 7,050 euros after three years in operation and 60,000 km on the roads. This is about 1,000 euros less than all competing models in its class and makes the Astra a recommended buy.

Eurotax-Schwacke experts confirm that this result shows that Opel's philosophy "Fresh thinking -- better cars" is not only apparent in the new dynamic design but is also demonstrated by the excellent resale value.
