typically SXI will have better interior/stuffs then the LS which is a base model?
may be incorrect though

I'd go for the SXi personally. It'll seem more 'sportier' on the outside and have nicer interior spec etc. As said LS is a bit of a base model isn't it?
Plus it's not that much older and less miles anyway.

Get the sxi Lynny - can look good with not a lot of cash spent on them!
Take a look in my garage for pics, you get sportier suspension (20mm lower than std astras iirc) brushed ally centre console, air con, sportier seats and 16s as std.
Any more info u need just ask!

are you going to modify it? If so to what extent? Some times a base model will save you some money if you are going to change most the bits in the future for uprated ones.
