Thanx bra. The only thing I miss about the astra is the cruise control and the ride quality, other than that nothing. The astra also feels lazy compared to the honda, but I think its all down to the way the astra makes its power.

and this thing is lighter on fuel as well.

nice buy dude. hope she brings you many happy miles. at the moment i am thinking of getting a 150i because these cars are fuel effecient, offer a soft ride and they generally are alot more reliable than the opels :mzekezeke:

just need something for day to day with easy to find parts. but when i get me a car to race with again it will definitely be opel even if it's not a XE :duim:
