Expert Reply:
The best trailer hitch for a 2008 Saturn Astra is the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 24809 which is the easiest to install. It offers a bolt-on install with no cutting or drilling required. The entire install process should only take around 30 minutes or so. The Draw-Tite hitch will then work well for light duty towing or using a hitch mounted bike rack.
Since you will be towing you'll also need the Draw-Tite Drawbar part # 3594, the 1-7/8" Hitch Ball part # 19256, and the Vehicle Wiring Harness Kit part # C59496.
