How the fuk are you a chav if you buy a CTR???
cus people who buy ctrs think they are the greatest car on earth, and always strap themselves to my bumper at every opportunity 
the ctr is the new saxo no doubt
What a load of complete shit. Most CTR drivers are 25+, a Corsa is slightly more 'chav' if you'd like to put it that way.

i fully agree (about the corsa bit)
maybe wankers are a better term to describe the majority of ctr drivers

how can a CTR be chav, i forgot your average chav had around £13K lying around
my bro was making the decision between an astra or a CTR, he got the CTR.
you see 100 astras driving around everyday, not that many civics

Although how many of them Astra's are GSi's?? There are far more CTR's on the road hence why i chose the Astra.

Around here the GSI is deffo the more rare of the two. Maybe seen 5 GSI's on the road ever. CTR's at least one a day/two days. As for the chav comments. Please stop using the word for every opportunity to descibe things that you do not like. Where as most drivers are prone to be found driving them badly. The ownership of a 16K car does not make you a chav.!!!!

CTR is a much better car on virtually every discipline. Think I would sway towards the Astra out of the two tho, just cos its different. If I HAD to have a front wheel drive tho, it would the Seat Leon Cupra R as a few people have said.

Im not a fan of japaneese cars.
The astra would be a much better real world quick car, as in gear times due to lots of torque would mean its fab to drive in all conditions.
Probably not as nippy as the CTR on the limit or round the twisties but id take it every time.
I wouldnt call the CTR chav, but it will be in a few years, saying that, so will the astra!
Astra for me everytime

i am on the look out for a gsi. well i am waiting for one to come into my dads garage. dont mind the ctr but they are everywhere. also the comment above, the ctr i has different bumpers and different engine, looks practically the same. some versions even look like ctrs where as with the astra gsi no other models shared the bumpers or wheels or interior or engine or arden blue. Astra VXR would be nice but out my price range just now.

Astra without a doubt. Personally I think it is a good looking car and as has allready been commented on CTRs are everywhere! They dont look anything special either.
And yes I find CTR owners 9 times out of 10 to be total cocks, they think they own the road!
1_Litre_Porsche_Beaters Astra is a very nice example of a Mk4 GSi IMO

I'd have the Astra in Black with the smoked rear lights, irmy grill, lowered and smoked windows... Just describing the one i see every morning....its lush
I think the Turbo would be fun on the GSI, the ride is more refined not back braking.. Astra is more tunable...

No chance would I have another Renualt again in my life. I think they use Duck tape and Zip ties to build them.
