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.

Since when has 9.5 seconds and 123mph been the same as 8.0 seconds and 133mph?

On the road the 1.8 16v Astra (125bhp) and the 2.2 16v will anally invade a GSi, I was invaded by my mates 1.8 16v Astra when I had the GSi.

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..
Dont have a clue what was in the coupe..

2.2 16v 0-60 8.0 seconds and 133mph

I would'nt say that was to bad.


Fair enough, i didn't know they were that quick, i've been in both and the turbo and the only one that seemed to go anywhere was the turbo model, but those figures aren't too bad

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.
