well the newbie best not come complaining about its 'performance' in the MK4 section  :evil: :grin: :grin:

a few of my prev cars:

from 2004-2005
H reg VW Golf 1.8 auto
from 2005-2006
54 reg vauxhall corsa design 1.4
from 2007-2008
07 reg vauxall astra twintop design 1.8
from 2008-2009
56 reg vauxhall astra design 1.6

So as long as this car out performs them, im happy i guess, will it?

the last two Astras it may struggle to outperform  :undecided: not sure on their power outputs mind so can't really comment

its not a bad lump but its more GT than GTI  :smiley:

how did it feel on the test drive?

felt smooth on the test drive, but did not really put me foot down, as had not brought it at the time, will be more willing tonight,

the Astra 1.6 is 115bhp and i think this would out perform it as its very sluggish.

I think the twintop would out perform the VW when the sports button was pressed. as that did give it some ommph, but it was a heavy car! so we will see,

Am going to be taking it on the motorway friday night, so may give it a little push.

Had my astra twintop do 130mph easy. so will be interesting too see what this can do. drove it home last night and was a very confy drive, love the car, and love the central arm rest. makes me feel even lazier when i drive.

Am loving the car so far. so will be interesting. lets hope i get some clear roads on friday!
