I actually owned both, well a Astra 1.8 SRI hatch. The astra is quicker but the GSI was more fun & felt quicker. Handling wise the astra wins hands down. | |

Had a bit of sport with a coupe the other night.. Was able to sit with him through to 4th gear then had to slacken off because of traffic.. | |

1.8 16v SXi 125bhp model used to beat my GSi all day long, quiet easily actually. | |

1.8 is marginally quicker in the book, probably not much in it on the road. | |
