... countryside, I have often had problems over the years driving to and from work in the snow during the wintery months, hover the Astra handled impeccably, never seeming to struggle in any condition.

It has a 1598cc engine capacity and it's a 16 value engine. For the car buffs this means a top speed of 117mph, and 0-60 in 10.5 seconds, but I can say that I have tried neither of these, so cannot attest to the accuracy of these figure.
