Got any pics of the inside? Test drove one once and don't remember it being that bad? Is it similar to the Vectra?

Vaguely similar dashboards etc.


They are unappealing to the eye, having come from my Vectra VXR, but they are far easier to get along with in terms of daily easy use than I have found in newer, more 'premium' cars that I have owned/hired - far less fussy/busy.

Perfect/Ideal for usage & fuctionality rather than for simply looking at.

I'll get some pics tomorrow of the dash etc. quite a different design, wouldn't call it pretty but it has a notable design language which is nice. Obviously being a Vauxhall it's not premium and harsh plastics etc but everything is solid and functional, I'm happy.

I've just got a 2008 CDTi SRi 150 and Iwu don't think the dash is bad at all? Having come from a 2005 1.6 Zetec s fiesta. Feels loads newer in this.

I like this , I don't think I would buy one, as I like the rs megan, but I find them more interesting than the focus st

I drove my mates and it felt quick, certainly quicker than my standard scooby turbo once moving

It just looks awkward to me. Just a 180 degree straight down dashboard. It's always put me off them. Love the exterior looks and the Recaro's are nice. That dash though

Piano black is nicer for the dash.

I like the Arctics, but would be a 'Burg if I ever bought a VXR

Agree silver looks crap on the dash, Jambos will be piano black. I'm wanting to paint mine black but the CD player and heater controls have the markings on and proper ones are a fortune.

The gloss black did wonders for it.

They looked great when they first came out. I had a new SRi as a company car for a bit!
