borowed a new one from work for a couple of days, very very imprssed by it, is the 2.0 tdi, so so much better than the petrol versions that i drove, handles ok, and power is resonalbe from them, still feels lively for a medium size car as well
just need to borrow an astra mk5 to compare it agaist, IMO looks better than the vaux anyway

i hate VW's today 
my bro's been trying to fix his golf all day & i've had to run him about getting parts etc. thought it was all done but when he fired it up water started pissing out the top of the radiator (brand new radiator  ) & smoke was coming from the exhaust manifold
now means it has to stay in our garage untill he can get back down & he lives in liverpool so that could be ages away
i cant work on my car now because the shitter

Astra 5 looks fuggin ukly, I can't believe people are stupid enough to buy these.
Golf 5 is let down at the rear so lets hope the GTi flavours tweak it up a bit.
The FK Golf shows already how sweet the car looks when it's cleaned up.
