Agreed, I find it ideal for shifting through the gears quickly.

if you want a money pit which requires love and attension = astra gsi

Money pit is the key word there.

I wouldnt be surprised if you could run a type R on water either.

i've owned both at the same time.
i like the gsi for looks, bit that's it. i found i really boring to drive, but it was pretty standard.
i really liked the CTR, it felt alot better than the gsi.

I would say the only two main things going against the civic are the insurance (quite a bit more then the gsi) and the tuning is less bhp per £ spent
