Astra coupe  Has full irmsher kit, and i love it, got a few plans for it already, before you ask it is only the 1.8, needed a car to do 800 miles a week that would not drink loads of petrol. Have one pic if some one can host it for me i will email it to you...

I meant only a 1.8 compared to the 2.2 and 2ltr turbo models you can get.

I am well surprised with the 1.8, a lot of people slate it, but i love it pulls quite hard. was going to get the 2.2 but there aint much difference,
0-60 8.5(1.8) 8.2(2.2)
Top end 130(1.8) 135(2.2)
has more torque though, but the 1.8 is only group 9 insurance i am only paying an extra £8 a month!

There is hardly any difference between the 1.8 16v and 2.2 16v with regards to mid range power as well, notice that the in-gear times are more or less the same.
2.2 16v is wank.
