new car at last :D

[Dan]

missus went to the vaux dealer to get the keys to our new astra sri yesterday :D and i gotta say its alot nicer than i thought lmao. Although i think she's been caning it abit as in the first 51 miles she has managed an average of 26.6mpg which aint bad, until you realise its a 1.7 td capable of 50+ easily :lol: :lol: (i'm assuming she found the sport button :roll: )

A few pics for you

i think they've very disproportionated.

but the Sporty models, do look very good. Especially the top of the range turbo thingy.

looking good tho, nice interior !

[peester]

as bruce said waiting to see the GSi up closer this year..



i thought itll be badged a vxr the crazy astra turbo thing..

[Ian]

nice, faster than your nova too dan lol

why didnt you wait for the 05 plate btw? less than a month

[Mike]

me and me mate managed to get his dad's seat leon cupra R thingy down to about 18mpg!! :o 1.8 turbo beast with 200 odd bhp

spent about 4 hours canning it around in november :twisted:

[epo]

nice one dan

[Mike.]

the new astra is a nice looking car in my opinion, very nice

[nova ian]

very nice, i love this shape astra :D

[BigRuss]

I am suprised :o

That is really nice.

What is it with You and Grey Vauxhall's :lol:

[CP]

8) that looks gorgeous - the interior is excellent! I gotta say that all the mainstream manufacturers have come on leaps and bounds recently in the styling dept. The influence of modded cars is clearly evident. Vauxhall's latest crop is about the best IMO.

:lol: @ the fuel consumption - the figures quoted by manufacturers are achieved in conditions about as representative of normal driving as it would be if you turned your car off for half your journey and got towed home! :lol:

[novacabrio]

Looks nice, great colour choice in moonland, very popular, so great for resale, whts the plans for the exterior?

[srs1]

car looks sweet dan, hope the mrs enjoys driving it.

[Aragorn]

i regularly achieve 40mpg in the nova with normal fast driving

its the weight that kills the fuel economy ;)

[Stuart]

whts the plans for the exterior?

lmao

probably to have it get really really dirty, maybe fit a couple of baby bucket seats inside though ;o)


thats one tasty looking car.
imo the new focus in a similar colour is a very very good choice too.
there are some really nice looking cars in the pipelines too, and diesel is soooo the way forwards, i mean theyve now got 1.6 tdci's almost up to the same performance as the fiesta ST 150 lol

[raza]

drove one of these a while back on a test drive nice cars

[~~joycey~~]

thats nice i really like that :D

[Mel]

ooh nice new car..Looks very tasty.
