I don't use my golf when it snows so it would make no odds if I had fwd or tbh.

The other 345 days I'll have rwd (or 4wd) permagrin  :smiley:

Hideous! I'd rather walk than have one of them!!!

Not the best looking car I have to agree... the same kit in a polo would be nice!

I'll probably get murdered for saying this but that is a seriously smart looking car. The last VXR was the one car I nearly bought instead of my GTi. It was an absolute hoot to drive but I thought the Golf was a better overall ownership package.
Having now had a GTi I could be really tempted by that Astra come change time, especially with a 100 000 mile warranty which the tight bar-stewards at VW are never going to offer.

I'll now go and take cover and wait for the slaggings to arrive!!!!

Have to admit its a good looking car with out too many shouty bits like the previous astras. That is a serious bit of kit for the money you have to say.  :lipsrsealed:

.. but will it convert some of the badge snobs on here? i doubt it. Would I buy one? I doubt it also*  :grin:





* wouldnt mind one for a couple of months to destroy though  :laugh:

Badge snobbery gets you nowhere - it just ends up in disappointment when a car isn't as good as you expected it to be.
