With its SRi specification, denoted by small tacky badges on our Astra estate's front flanks, you get a bundle of 'sporty' equipment, but incongruously the rear windows are of the manual variety.

As a result, an inattentive passenger did not apply enough effort to closing the left nearside pane, which explains steamy windows on several mornings courtesy of a damp interior.
