Changed my mind

[Crunkers]

I was gonna get a Starlet Turbo as my next car, however I have changed my mind and I think I'm gonna go for a Mk4 Astra 1.8 16v SXi or SRi.

Anyone had any experience of them? I've read some reviews and they sounds nice to me

noooo go on pistonheads but your budget on a starlet theres a fair few there.

I want a Glanza, a decent one will set me back £4k. Too much

[Evolution4589]

Damn you, I just got the details for that Glanza IN THE PISSING RAIN!! :(

[Ashleyp]

common, boring, not very fun to drive

but.. theyre not built for performance and are good runners, good economy, cheapish insurance built well etc etc

Fairly pacey matey, 1.8 does 0-60 in 8.5 sec. Thats alot faster than my Furio. I'm not going for insane speeds, just something better than mine currently

PM the details mate :y:

Thanks

There's another one I've seen tootling around in West Sussex, £2,500... it's an old-skool one though. Personally I think it's fugly, got a number for you if you want it.

[Ocego_VTR]

astra: too common.
Glanza: rare, fast, looks mean, very tuneable.

a decent 1.8 sri astra will cost you more then that, and probs still have high miles. :homme:

astras are shite, boring to drive, slow and just crap. Builds good but i wouldnt have one.

Not what I've seen on the net matey

Astra 1.6 SXI's are pretty nice imo and good on fuel comsumption!

Also can you get them looking very nice and subtle with doing very little to them.

[Ferg]

I'd rather have a Glanza ...

[Ocego_VTR]

glanza could be heavy on fuel astras tend to be economical

Agreed, i think they can be made to look really nice

[Crunkers]

As i've said i can't afford £4k

Found a nice example

[Ocego_VTR]

thats nice

[Crunkers]

thats nice

Point proven i think :A:

[Ocego_VTR]

but extra £500 buys you a glanza

[Crunkers]

but extra £500 buys you a glanza

Don't have an extra £500. Mileage would be far higher too

[Ocego_VTR]

you sold the furio??

[Crunkers]

you sold the furio??

Hopefully so

[Ocego_VTR]

how much you got altogether after you sold the furio?

[Crunkers]

Enough to buy a 3 grand car

[Ocego_VTR]

do you need a car straight away like?

[Crunkers]

do you need a car straight away like?

Yes...

[Ocego_VTR]

get the astra then.

[Crunkers]

get the astra then.

I know what you'd have said if I'd said no lol

[Ocego_VTR]

yerr save for glanza lol.

you could get a good condition civic vti for £3k

[Crunkers]

Not my kettle of fish, Astras can be made to look good for next to nothing, that one I've posted is a prime example

[Ocego_VTR]

yerr it does look good and mileage is good aswel can be made to go fast aswel.

[Crunkers]

[Ocego_VTR]
