Just an example, but from a very repudtable car magazine... the Astra is more expensive and yet does not score better in ANY category than the Civic, funny that Check them all, nobody but u rates the Astra better than the Civic

This is one sided opinion, go on Astra Sport and ask them about the reviews done on the Astra.
They are a load of bollocks.

Yeah ok, whatever, same on the civic one, they say they are underrrated in reviews, thats whay I picked an independant company
How exactly is this one sided, face it... civics win awards left right an centre, what car hot hatch of the yr for 4 years running i think (ever since it came out) Top Gear same, Max power even ( )

I also live contented that the money I spent on my Civic was the best place to put my money, after all, my 4mth old civic is still worth more than some1 who bought an astra gsi yesterday

Yes, but it has the torque to match, you can have them running 225bhp with a few simple upgrades that don't cost a small fortune.

He seriously could not have been trying, I don't believe a 1.8 8v could beat a car capable of 152mph
