Its actually based on the astra although they did bolt the gtc running gear on so should handle well

Someone near my lockup just took delivery of a gtc,and i quite liked the look of it,read a good review about it when i was in vaux on a recall not so long back.
Still a bit hairdressy/camp though,irrespective of its power or handling,its just not "unisex" enough,thats what i meant by the tigra comment

Looks like a golf convertible thing (or the new eos, some random veedub soft top) with an astra front end!

Looks typical of all newer cars these days imo, all look identical barring the trimmings!

That's the new Vauxhall "Adam", the front end is ghastly.

Wasnt sure if it were the eos or the golf, dont pay much attention to new cars, so thought id list both rather than get it wrong and look silly lol

John
21-02-13, 07:03 PM
Eos was the solid folding roof one. Now been replaced with the soft top golf. I pay lots of attention :P

Both ****e.

The current shape of mass-produced cars is getting worse, thanks to pedestrian safety imo.

Huge too! Lethal blind spots from stupidly thick pillars and small windows, thick doors etc.
Yes, it makes them 'safer', but they are quickly outgrowing the roads and parking spaces.

Yet some clampet that drives a new Astra would no doubt refer to a Cortina estate as huge. lol

i noticed the blind spot while doing my driving test, was in a suzuki swift and was told to physically look over my right shoulder before pulling away, couldn't see a thing, told my instructor, he said regardless it's a requirement of the test, so i just had to glance, was literally no point in looking/

Daft isn't it! You may be safer if you're in an impact or end up on your roof, but there's more chance of it occuring in the first instance.

My Mondeo is 9, not a new car. The design of it is about 12 years old. Yet it is more than capable of completely obscuring a Transit on a roundabout. :/

As for my sisters 2012 Clio... :|

You should try the astra gtc. May as well be a van

I can imagine that. Looks huge on the road. Haven't seen the interior, but it's a great looking car imo.

It will be interesting to see how they age. They remind me of when the first Focus was launched, they just seem to instantly date everything else on the road.

Stupid fecking pedestrian safety shiz. I mean really, look at the rake of that windscreen! Those ridiculous little front corner windos ahead of the mirrors are useless at anything, may as well not be there at all.

Hayley's Colt suffers from fat pillar sydrome, yes people wandering in the road will no doubt roll off it, but if you could actually see those people in the first place... Its also nigh on impossible to attach any sat nav to the windscreen as its so far away lol

With my car only being from 2004, I got sick of the sat-nav carry on (out of date). So I use my phone, and had to purchase one of those stupid adhesive discs for the dashboard.

I can now reach the buttons, and have a cleaner windscreen. Score.

Downside is, some little sh!t may put the window through in the belief that a TomTom lives in the glovebox. lol

I'm the same. Automatics too. Time and a place n all that.

None are perfect though, and newer cars as we know are designed to feel as remote as possible.
Do. Not. Like.

Superb MPG, noise levels, equipment, bangin factory wireless etc are great though.

I won't go all OMGNUCARZRSH1T Auto****e on you and state reasons why RCL (or even just CL) is crap and inferior to unlocking all doors with the key/interior handle though. lol
