very nice mark. only things i'm not keen on are the centre console (looks a bit cheap in all astras) and the chrome grille.

i had eibach lowering springs on mine 50/30 the ride was improved and it made the astra handle like it should of done out the factory.
Not sure what mpg im getting yet but put the sport button today for a mile or two and it really transforms the car but one downside...the mpg on the trip computer dropped quite quickly but if its driven sensibly i reckon i wont be any worse than what my corsa B 1.6 16v is.
I will be able to tell better once iv filled her up with super unleaded.
Is the range on the trip computer very accurate?

Glad you finally found a car u liked mate, just one problem with it..............................to many doors
isit petrol? 1.6 tubbie??
Its a 1.6 turbo Matthew.
Iv always loved the 5dr astra with the xp kit,i do prefer it to the 3dr if im honest,The main reason i bought another car is because the corsa is becoming unpractical for everyday use especially when taking my grandma & grandad anywhere its just becoming embarrassing so the mk5 astra 5dr with xp ticked all the boxes for me.
Bigger
comfortable
sporty
practical
Everything i wanted really.

Been driving like a granny since i got it yesterday
Had the money for a while but i was still a temp at work until December when i got a full time contract so started looking at a few cars after christmas.
Also i didn't want to get rid of me little corsa so after a few calculations i decided to keep the corsa and get a second car for everyday use.
Tbh Warren i can't remember the full spec but i know it does have ipod connector,cd30 mp3,blootooth (need to work out how to connect my phone up for that) & factory fitted rear parking sensors which i was pleased about with me being use to driving a smaller car.
