Now that this 6th generation incarnation of Vauxhall’s ever-popular Astra model has cemented its success in the UK market since its launch in late 2009, SimonsCarSpots thought it was time to see what made the latest Astra substantially outsell Ford’s rival Focus as the best-selling car in June 2010 and continue to do rather well ever since.
