I mean I knew that the dealer's name on the number plate was pretty normal, but plastered all over the car like that? I'd take it straight back!

OK. OK. so it's an IL5, but it has got a turbo
![]() Book speed is 154, 0-100 km/h 0-60 mph (sec) 6.4 Flexibility 50-100 km/h (4 th ) (sec) 6.5 The Astra VXR is quicker in a straight line, but doesn't have the poise of the ST. I've looked at a number of diffrent cars, Mazda 6 MPS, Audi A3/S3, A4 convertible, Audi TT, Golf GTi, Honda Civic Type R (yuk!), and nothing comes close for all round every day use, with that ability to give me something extra when I want it too, AND give a decent level of refinement as well. . |

But if you'd have gone for a new style Honda Civic then you could have had lovely blue neon lights in the driver's footwell.
Oh. Hang on. You said decent level of refinement. My bad. ![]() ![]() |

Ive never been a big ford fan, in fact I could be quoted as saying I'd never get one. Even I'm starting to think that ford are getting it right now. The competition is so fierce that noone can afford to make a crap car anymore. Add to that the attempts already made to revive the sports ford division through the focus and you can see why this revision is so special.
![]() I hope it treats you well, it certainly looks the part. Don't suppose you could go that far wrong with the focus. How did it compare with the prices of the others though (cheeky I know!)? I read that you could get a good one for 20K or thereabouts, that seems good when compared to the ridiculous price of the golfs presently. My Brother in laws bro has just put his name down for an R32 with the DSG and that set him back 26K. I thought the S3 would be about the same price too. As for the Type-R, I liked the older ones but the new ones are a step too far for me, the price for the last of the old shapes are good though and I like the way they drive. I dont think the hot hatch has much further to go than the ST and the VXR, theres only so much power you can force through the front end before it becomes uncontrollable! Once youve had a good blast come back and let us know what its like! ![]() Nice one, you cant beat the feeling of having a new machine! ![]() |
