And what a disapointment!!! but looks great and the seats are fantastic

seemed to round out of revs, no nice turbo noise or even a little exhaust rumble

was soooo looking forward to it as well, astra VXR is so much better, vectra VXR is just a beast!

turbo noise - supressed by airbox
exhaust rumble - it has to meet laws

If you remove one of the fuses (13 I think), the flaps in the exhaust stay open so its loud all the time
