BlackRocket Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Morning all, Just thought Iâ??d stick a random topic in as Iâ??ve borrowed my brothers car for the day since my Glanza is in for a cambelt change in his GFâ??s Dadâ??s garage.Itâ??s an 08 reg Astra 1.8 SRI with full optional kit and 18â??s. Iâ??m actually liking it a lot â?? Power is nowhere near like the Glanza but its nice to drive, the stereo is impressive, it rides well even tho its on 18â??s and the standard seats are really supportive. Quite a random post really but I thought I would share! LOL! Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Raz Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 lool good on you mate. Going from a old to any new car is a fair bit of change. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
addz Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 When you start seeing topics like this you can see the digression ;) But I truly understand what you mean, the drive is completely different, comforable, reassuring, no need to worry about speed bumps. It's a lovely sensation but gets boring after a short period of time, it burns away like many fantasies, shortly after you feel like a grandard in a grandads car enjoying grandad luxuries Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dale10ellis10 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 I work for vauxhall and I love driving the astras when they're come in,1.9cdti 150 is the engine to get, a remap alone and they keep up with vxr's and the likes on the straights. Pretty good cars actually, the new astra is crazy if anyone has seen or driven them, only recently out.Dale. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
