why is the astra gsi boring???????

its not all about revvy engines like clio 182's which must be solely made up of cardboard for some people its nice to have luxeries and a feel of something bigger maybe.........

i own a astra gsi and admit it is boring but i knew this when i bought it as its a good gt car for me and mrs to cruise round europe in, clio 182 would piss u right by the time you got 50 mile down the road so could say clio 182 is boring on a long journey

I'd rather an Astra GSI as well tbh. The Ibiza is good, but the Astra is much more solid and refined. More powerful too in standard form.

Forgive me if i'm wrong but firstly you've totally contradicted yourself. Secondly a Clio 182 as standard has a higher specification than any astra GSi ...

doe'snt change the fact that the astra feels more nicer inside and bigger and more comfortable and expensive i suppose could be the word even though it is'nt, and yes i have driven a clio!!!!!! but you cant call an astra gsi boring, its like me calling a clio 182 too exciting...

the astra is a far better gt type car than the clio, like i said before try doing a round trip to spain and back in a clio 182 and astra gsi and you will never admit it but the astr wins hands down, However for fun on the pyranees and spainish roads you want the clio possibly

TWO DIFFERENT CARS BUT NEITHER BORING OR EXCITING JUST DIFFERENT CHARACTERS, hence why i say you cant just call a car boring
