I miss my Astra SRI 1.9 CDTI (150PS) with Exterior Pack. Cheap running costs ftw.
Insurance was cheap as anything too.

I was dead set on an octavia vrs in the next couple of months. After looking round vauxhall at corsas with the gf i'm seriously considering a 150 cdti.
I like the dash but it's not as good in the astra and the astra isn't as well specced.
I like the fact the sports button means I can drive to work with decent mpg then press it for a remapped 200bhp.
Threads like this don't help.
Decisions decisions.

went out in one of these 150 cdti's last nite. was fairly impressed, not enough gear in first (understandably) but in other gears the pull was immense, remapped one must be bags of fun.
