The 5 door mkV Astra with the Irmscher sports styling pack
Look nicer than the 3 door version imo, except VXR's.

Ok!
Right, well you listed the Astra along with the Corsa and Clio, which to me means you don't really need a car the Astras size. Also the Corsa will be nippier, considering they both have the same engine. The Clio is quite nice inside etc but they are known for trim falling apart. Plus the 1.7td Corsa in SXi/SRi guise is quite a good package.

all cars have got to come within my figure of around 3.5k max
the corsas are 1.7 d not td's so they wil be slower then the astra, i know about the clios trim but thats only trim and id rather trim fall off then bits of my engine
