The Vauxhall Astra MK5 was a popular model which was first launched in 2004. It was available as a five-door hatchback, five-door estate, and a sporty three-door hatchback called the Sport Hatch. The Sport Hatch featured an optional "panoramic windscreen" which extended the windscreen into the roof area, a concept that was unique to the model at the time. Variants ranged from life, Club, Design, SXi, SRi, Elite, and the flagship VXR (Sport Hatch only) which had a 240 bhp engine. Other specialty models included Active, Energy, Breeze and VXR Nurburgring. The Petrol models included 1.4 90 bhp, 1.6 105 bhp or 115 bhp, 1.8 140 bhp, 1.6 Turbo and the 2.0 litre Turbo (VXR). The diesel models came in 1.3 90 bhp, 1.7 with either 80 or 100 bhp and 1.9 with either 120 or 150 bhp. All the diesel variants featured CDTI and the majority had sixteen valves. In 2006, the TwinTop 2-door coupé convertible was added to the Vauxhall Astra range as a variation on the Tigra. The MK5 was the first Astra to receive a Euro NCAP 5 star crash test rating. It was Britain's second-best selling car in 2005, 2006, and 2007 and was highly appreciated by drivers. The five-door Astra was replaced in late 2009 and the three-door Sport Hatch was replaced in late 2011.
