Astra

Jonners · 20 Jun 2006 at 11:17

I'm borrowing an Astra SXi Sport Hatch whilst my Corsa is having some stonechips and scratches repaired.

Now onto the Astra, whilst it goes like the stink on the motorway and sounds nice, I really can't stand this car :sick:

Interior is just too grey, I feel lost with all these buttons.
Rear window is too small to make out whats going on around me whilst reversing.
Driving position, just can't get used to it, the seats feel harder than the ones in my C
Gear stick, too used to the one in my C
Dash, I don't know when i'm speeding and when i'm not. I have to pay more attention lol.

Are all my dislikes. I can't wait to get my Corsa back.

I've drove the 5 door Astra 1.7CDTi Life and preferred that over this abomination

You rate an astra lower than your corsa then comment on how grey its dash is compared to yours!

All those buttons are electric things and operate toys and gadgets, perhaps these are missing from your corsa due to the fact you need to turn wheels for things to happen.

I would take an astra over a corsa any day of the week.

I prefer the 5 door ones, I don't feel quite right in the sport hatch.

Astra > Corsa.

Tupac, your just weird.

Jonners · 20 Jun 2006 at 11:54

That way it might be, i'm not weird, look at the rear window ffs.

Rich1988 · 20 Jun 2006 at 11:56

normally I wouldnt agree with ze germans but astra>corsa any day

(love you really kroegen)

Your off your rocker. This doesnt even warrant a proper reply.

leaskovski · 20 Jun 2006 at 13:33

Sprot hatch for the win!

Have you got CJD? :confused:

Valo · 20 Jun 2006 at 13:48

As an owner of an Astra SXi sports hatch, must say your off your rocker Tupac when you say you prefer a corsa!
I find the driving position is great, seats are comfortable and supportive. Engine makes a good noise and gearbox is fine.

The only thing I'll agree with you on Tupac is the rear window, however it's a well documented fact and you just get used to it after a while!

James_N · 20 Jun 2006 at 13:58

We know hes off his rocker. Hes got a new (05 i think) corsa that he paid LOTS of $$ for

now who in their right mind would do that.

£6k odd for a 1.2 wasnt it Tupac?

Thats just the way it is! Some things will never change!

Jonners · 20 Jun 2006 at 14:00

LMAO, I thought it was a big engined one you had there from you saying "it goes like the stink on the motorway" but no you got the slow one.

Incidently my Dad has got a 1.4 SXi Sport Hatch today as a hire car, he ain't going to be happy, he hates them.

paradigm · 20 Jun 2006 at 14:06

How can a car that heavy, with a 1.4 litre engine, be given a "sports" moniker.

saitrix · 20 Jun 2006 at 14:07

That seems to be the norm now, people want a sporty looking car but the power isnt so important.

It is a whole 75bhp/tonne.

Well I guess it feels quicker than the 1.0 I had for 10 months and the 1.2 I now drive.

And the 55 reg Corsa SXi I paid £6k odd ...
