They are quick 0-60 in about 7sec... not much quicker than the Vectra GSI though...thought it would be quicker being a 2.0L Turbo....Err nice car though!

It should'nt need to be touched on though, all the others vibs has said are in standard trim, just think its a lot of cash for a car that should be alot faster than it is.

192 bhp is a bit weak for the currwent crop... I much prefer the coupe turbo like Patrick has

0-60 in 7sec in a 200bhp car is a bit of a let down

I've heard that the handling (as standard) is pretty poor?

Macca, my brother changed a Vectra GSi for an Astra SRi turbo. The Astra certainly feels a lot more nimble thanks to the shorter box. We never did get the opportunity to get them head to head though. Could have been interesting.
