Right I am pretty certain that I will be buying an astra in the next few months...
But I am wondering....
Which is the better car? the 1.8 SRi hatch or the bog standard 1.8 coupe??
Obviously more toys in the hatch but which one would be the better car? does one have better suspension than the other?

Out of the two the coupe is more desirable thus will hold its money more but probably costs more
Both have shit interiors though
Coupe must have a spoiler IMO

Personnally i think the Sri Hatch looks better in standard form but the Coupe is a generally nicer car. If you can get a GSI front bumper for the coupe then your laughing

I got a quote on the coupe 1.8 se2 and it would be another £220 to insure it till sept.
Not had a quote on the SRi but they are the same group. Would ideally like the 2.0 SRi
