Acceleration, style and easy to repair if anything were to go wrong
Hard ride, tyre noise, traction control spoils the fun
Well, all the above reviews are right on in my opinion, for a Vauxhall is probably the best you can by on the market, when you weigh up price and insurance. 0-60 however is slightly out of the above, must have been timing their grandma's driving it cause the onboard trip comp in my Vauxhall Astra Turbo Coupe reads 5.9 sec! Top end is good for 150+ and through the gears it's awesome.
This car wipes the floor with any of your hot hatch's and has been a proven scubby eater. The traction control can spoil the fun a bit but means you can throw the car into any corner without having to have spare boxer shorts to hand.
No turbo lag and awesome acceleration means this is probably the most fun you could ever have on 4 wheels for 6K.
