    Default Mark 4 Astra GSI turbo opinions?

    I'm thinking of getting one. Anything I should be worried about? They do good as a daily? Anyone had one?

    My brother ran one for years. It never broke any more than any other car. The forums are full of info and joining something like the Astra Owners Club is worth doing.
    His turned out to be a top notch car, freaking fast as well.
