Is it strange to want one of these at 21 years old?
Think they're really nice, wouldn't mind a big car , and think they look ace.
Can pick a nice one up for 5k... opinions?

Rather spend 5k on a Astra GSI instead, but still cool!

hmmm dont think an 21 yr old would look right in a big car like that, my grandad has one and they are massive, quick yes they are and he hasnt even got the GSi, just he basic 'life' model.

personaly i wouldnt buy one yet and im 21, i just couldnt see myself in it! Only reason why my grandad's got one mainly is because we've got 2 dogs and they go perfect in the boot.

but life being one of the basic models its not too bad, and im not saying its better than the Gsi or anything becuase it wont be, but my g.dads one his got the "tip-tronic' gearbox, auto & manual, sports button, A/C.
I wonder what the VXR would be like

I absolutely love my Zafira GSi, but if I was 21 and didn't have kids then I would not have one.
I had a coupe turbo at 21 and i still miss that to bits. But as I now have 4 kids, the Zafira GSi is the best car on the market IMO.
