Is there anyway to find out where my car was made? Just curious.

Yes, if G8 appears in your VIN number, then I believe it's UK built.

It does have G8 in it. Was hoping it was uk built as that was one of the reasons for going with the Astra.

Me too!

On the VIN the last 6 digits are like the serial number, the digit before that on an Astra K should be either an 8 (Ellesmere Port) or a G (Gliwice), and the character before that is the model year (at the moment on all Astra K it should be a G, for 2016 model year), so a UK built car would have a VIN something like WOLBF6EAXG8******, a Polish one would be WOLBF6EAXGG******

Next year's models will have H as the model year.
