I have a Coupe, but obviously pretty much the same car.
I love mine, i'm not really into the whole racing around mcdonalds thing and making my car go fast over a quarter mile, so I chose the Coupe, it's a nice drive and comfortable if you drive long distances. Especially if you have leather seats (i don't  )
Mine is nippy enough for what I need, and also they are easy to do subtle mods too to make them look good.
I just wish i got the 2.0 turbo, but unfortunately money was tight then so I had to settle for lower insurance.

I must admit, my coupe is very thirsty, i'm lucky if i make 250+ miles from a tank, and no i don't rag mine nor drive like a badger, i think mine is mainly down to the journey to and from work ( alot of stop starting malarky )
Head over to astraownersclub.com for more info as well

I have the 1.8, i spent a while researching it and the reasons to get the 1.8 for me at the time out weighed the reasons for a 2.2
Not much difference drive wise, obviously 2.2 has a bit more power, but not a massive amount.
