looks different from other models in the range by a lot. the GSi does not
That's only because base model seats look pants,
and you can't make a seat look this good 
2.2 sri. not much different
Eh 
Different whees, skirts, bumpers, spoiler 
Anyway that was not my point, pls read what i said again

The gearing is too long, the car is not quick enough, its overpriced, its a BMW, its wank, its not my cup of tea
(cooper s works is quick tho)
if Phil321 reads this he'll start going into one again

ye hondas are a lot more fuckin reliable than vauxhall. just my opinion that if i were looking for a car a honda would easily favour over a vaux especialy wehn comparing the CTR to the astra.

looks different from other models in the range by a lot. the GSi does not
That's only because base model seats look pants,
and you can't make a seat look this good
2.2 sri. not much different
Eh
Different whees, skirts, bumpers, spoiler
Anyway that was not my point, pls read what i said again
