Been looking at some Astra Vxr's
Nothing has really caught my eye 
Was having a look on the bay tonigh and came across this
Click
Now I have fallen in love, but I hadn't even considered these till now.
I know I wont get an Astra with that spec/age for the same money,
Only thing I dont like really is the interior it's gash.
Whats the pro's on these over the Vxr?

i dont think there are any pro's over the vxr other than the price.

I find the Focus interior better than the Astra's anyway. I'd definately be giving the Focus some serious consideration.

Very good cars imo. Definately worth looking into 
Been in a couple facelift ones and the engine noise is amazing and they seem to pull very well!
Loads round my way, mainly the prefacelift ones. The joys of living near Dagenham motors

You can get an astra that cheap, my mate just paid 10k for an 07 and its pretty well specced. i dont find them very inspiring though at all, was expecting it to be better than it was!

I love that 
Shame its not got the leather but I dont think the interiors that bad, ive seen worse coloured fabric on them.
How far away is that though?

Yeah I dont really get that, neither is an amazing place to be, there both cheap-ish mass production line cars. I wouldnt rate either higher than the other.

Don't want a 5door
Not looking for something modded in particular,
But it would save me bugering about with it, because everything I would do,is done to the red one,

Tough call Id say, dont think there is much between the ST, the VXR and the Megane apart from personal preference!
Altho them red ST's look ace!!! This one is mint - http://pistonheads.co.uk/sales/919498.htm
