Which would you choose?
And say why!
Its a very close call for me, the astra looks nicer in arden blue! Which one handles better?

Theres hundreds, mostly full of people dissing Civics in favour of the Astra which is ridiculous as Astra GSi's are cack in comparison and r usually rated with such hot hatches as the Cooper S

Astra Gsi is faster than the CTR and better looking imo.

Astra would beat the Civic 1/4 mile and top speed. Sure the Coupé would beat it round a track also.

The Astra is slower on everything (0-60, 1/4 mile etc) other than the top speed which is about 4mph more, the Astra wud be easily beaten on the qtr mile due 2 VTEC

I'm hoping for a 14.9sec. In standard form. That would be pretty unbeatable by a CTR.

I would of thought that was unattainable by a GSi/Coupe as well

Well in complete standard form my car did a 1/4 in 15.22secs @ 91mph. That was with a bad start and nothing stripped.
My launches are a lot better now and with quite a few weight saving mods I think it will be quite achievable.
