Rare, Fast, Handles, Very well equiped, as cheap to run as a Cavalier, Engine will last for ever.
Interior not as good as it's predecessor - the GTE.
The Mk3 Vauxhall Astra GSI is everything the GTE 16v was, but it looks better, it's rarer and most importantly - it handles. You can chuck this car around and it will not give you any nasty suprises.
The engine lacks power at lower revs, but if you are willing to take it to the red line 1st to 3rd it is very quick. You have to be willing to rev it, if not the car is pretty tepid.
For me this is a very good looking car, and with 17's on there aren't many hot hatches that look better.
