CTRs are good fast cars, driven but boring middle aged people.


ok then, check out the CTR forum and ask the average age of driver - most are mid 20s - early 30s so I wouldn't say middle aged at all. The ATR is a middle aged owners car. I don't think any car owner will take the BMW wanker crown either


So people on that bored are mid twenties to early thirties? Yeah big deal. Does every CTR owner go on there? No. Probably coz the other 95% have kids and a mortgage and dont go on forums.

I'm not sure how that comes through in 'real' driving situations as although the engine braking isn't as good for getting the ass out, the bite and turn-in grip is phenominal in mine if you get the turbo working hard enough.

As I say, I'd dearly love to drive one in anger as I know Astras are very good!



I thought astra turbos had a good spread of torque from 2000-5500rpm

My Coupé has only 4 legal seats. I have a family and it does me fine. big boot too. Having 4 seats doesn't mean it can't be a family car!
