Time for a new car, anyone heard owt good/bad about the new astra turbo?

[Adam*D]

Thinking about getting a new astra 1.6 turbo, they look very nice and have 180 bhp standard so should go well. Anyone have any experience with them? good or bad?

[krobinson]

They've just been launched so no ones going to have any long term experience with them. But the new astra is very nice looking, has a stunning interior and the engine is from the Corsa VXR slightly de-tuned for emmissions.

Its only the same as the evolement of electriconis from Corsa B to C.

Corsa C ignition loom is connected into the audio loom for instance. And when you have your front wipers on in a C, an put it in reverse, the rear wiper comes on
