Astra on the road would be no difference between ATR, maybe its just a more refined car and seems slower.

Evisu, don't even think about getting a 2.2 16v one, get the 125bhp 1.8 16v if you can't get the Turbo as they are about 0.2 of a second slower to 60 and only 4mph slower top end.

Not sure about mid range but can't be all that different.

2.2 will waste a 1.8 midrange

I kept with my mates old 1.8 jobbie in a little fiesta zetec...


Its just the 2.2 isnt worth the extra insurance etc.
