Vauxhall Astra 5dr 1.8 125

The Vauxhall Astra 5dr 1.8 125 reaches 60 mph in 11.02 s (100 km/h in 11.60 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 18.54 s, tripping the lights at 80.4 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 3.30 s and the eighth mile in 12.38 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the Astra 5dr 1.8 125

The 2004 Vauxhall Astra 5dr 1.8 125 is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,210 kg with 123 bhp, which works out at 102 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 3.30 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 11,697th quickest to 60 mph, and the 119th quickest of the 164 Vauxhalls here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 80.4 mph, the 9,800th highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Vauxhall Astra 5dr 1.8 125 0-60 time?
The Vauxhall Astra 5dr 1.8 125 reaches 60 mph in 11.02 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 11,697th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Vauxhall Astra 5dr 1.8 125 quarter mile time?
18.54 s at 80.4 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 12.38 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.30 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Vauxhall Astra 5dr 1.8 125 have?
123 bhp and 1,210 kg, which is 102 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 4 gears and a quoted top speed of 188 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Vauxhall Astra 5dr 1.8 125?
Closest here on pace: Suzuki Grand Vitara 5dr 2.4 169 (10.98 s), Toyota Vios 1.5 109 (10.96 s), Holden Astra 5dr 1.8 125 (10.93 s). Each one can be raced against the Vauxhall Astra 5dr 1.8 125 in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Vauxhall Astra 5dr 1.8 125 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
