ive smoked in all my cars and none of them ever ever smelt of it as it was cleaned regularly and always had windows open etc. I never see the point in people saying this in adverts.

Exactly......as long as the seats and door cards arent full of holes,what does it matter.

Peace of mind to non smokers..
good selling point imo!
People tend to imagine the car has been looked after and the interior isn't going to be yellow with tar

Seriously unless you never opened the windows EVER or smoked in it 24/7 and owned the car for 24years yes...
A 5year old car? Err no.

Your comparing the GSi to a 1.6 SXi?  
Thats like comparing a GSi Corsa to a 1.0 12v. Completly different.

not really, they probably have the same power steering rack and very light throttle pedal.
I'm not asking about performance.
thanks

I have the SRI turbo which was a limited edition before the GSI was launched.
I am quite impressed with the astra its a good upgrade from a c20xe corsa b, plus I got every additional toy possible
