What are you talking about?  Astra's?  VW's.  I'm confused ???

yeah gaz i am had enough of the astra as its like driving a plastic skip.....checked my insurance and now ive got enough no claims the insurance quote is quite reasonable...would much prefer the r32 but your looking at close to 20k but you can get the v6's for around 14.5k so me thinks the 2.8 is more a realistic option just need to know who's driven one and what there like

Ah hah!  I see.  Just needed someone who wasn't disgusted by the word astra ;)

If you can afford it go for the R32, but the V6 4 motion is a very, very good substitute!  And much cheaper.

Still a prohibitive premium on R32's, just go for the V6-4-Motion, it'll be such a step up from your Astra that you won;t knwo what hit you!!
