handling
I think Vauxhall Astra GSI are extremely good value for money. I have one on a J with the red-top SFi engine and it is just full of torque in every gear. My previous car was an Impreza turbo but due to driving many miles now I needed a cheaper car with some power to take up and down the motorway. I think i'v made the best choice for £1800 (it had just had a fresh coat of red paint) I fitted a Koni kit to it and it does help but still not too great round corners!
I did race a MK2 GTe 16V and I couldn't catch him, although there wasn't much gap between us and his car looked like an absolute minter!!
