I am seriously considering one 
What do you think to them?
Anyone own one?
Anyone know of any forums like this, but for the Astra?

whats so bad about them?
the coupe + sri are nice cars!
i'm getting the sri meself. i would get the coupe but the ins grp is 9 on that! 
if anyone could ask these questions i would be grateful.
are the pedal arrangements wider (more spacious) in the astra than the corsa?
[Big feet]
Does the driver's seat go back further back in the astra than on the corsa? [long legs]
whats the weight of the astra sri compared to the corsa ls.
I've already been reading the astra-sport forum, but since a post has already been made here...
cheers

Um, cos I'm a poser... and it does get quite hot on a couple of days in the year 
Why do you modify the styling of a car unless you are a poser?

I went for a test drive in the 1.8 coupe and the 1.8 SRi today, and i thought they were really nice cars.
I am being drawn towards the Coupe though.
The insurance group is only an 8, and I've been quoted £1110 Fully comp on it.
There is loads of room in them as I am 6ft 2" with size 13 feet.
The pedal arrangement is good.

Yeah I saw that last night on the Astra-Sport forum.
It's a nice car, but it's got too many miles on for me. I am looking at one with about 20K at the most.
Oh yeah as you can imagine I don't need that quote anymore sorry.
