On saturday. Very happy with it so far, not fast by any means but nice all round every day car for a decent price.
No mods planned really maybe light tints for rear windows.....

We were unsure what we were going to buy. Originally looking at astra's and vectra's then saw one of these at a vauxhall dealership and loved it but it was auto so started looking for others. They all seem to have pretty much same toys as well, AC, Elec sunroof, elec mirrors, elec windows, cruise control.

Its the 2.0l. Spot on to drive although before this was used to 1.4 tigra. Driving position is spot on feel really tucked in although anyone much over 6 ft prolly wouldnt fit in. ~140bhp so it does pull its self along OK. Only thing thats catching me out is wiper stalk is on the left and indicators on the right.

Same. Just something about them that looks ace, but puts me off actually owning one!

Are these not Wrong wheel drive though, considering the looks and "sportyness"?

andys sxi- Yup - thats long gone im afraid. Bought a house and it just ended up sitting in the garage for over a year, water had ended up getting into the car and the whole thing was just a mess as it had been neglected. Didnt have the time or ££ to put into it, ended up getting rid for 2k.
