Vauxhall Astra IV (G) GSI TURBO Review

Good Points
Amazing power output - mine is 260BHP (with simple upgraded software & larger 9L intercooler), superb acceleration 0-60 in abt 5-6secs and top speed 165mph at 6000rpm.

Bad Points
Heavy, oversized doors! interior is v simple. To make it better it needed the upgrades performed by regal autosport...as suspension is too soft, brakes are weak, power (BHP) can be increased with mods and shud be if u wana compete with the focus RS and civic type R! Astra's seats are quite plain too.

General Comments
The Astra IV (G) GSI TURBO 2002 is the best vauxhall ive ever driven..perfect motorway vehicle, amazing acceleration 0-60 in sub 6 secs and top speed 165mph at 6000 rpm... however these have been achieved due to some modifications (9 litre intercooler and re-mapping of my ECU chip..simple but gave my car 70 bhp more! brings it up to 270 bhp which is abt the same as BMW M3 at a third of the cost!)



Better than the astra coupe and much better than the astra Mark 2 & 3!!!
