What do you guys think?

[kclipston]

Im needing a change from the saxo, Ive been offered a decent price for my vts from my brother and thinking of giving it up. Ive told him to give me a few months to save for another car and then its his. Im thinking of getting another mk4 astra as ive always loved them and only got rid of my last one for a mk5 astra. Im 18 and female so if i got a 1.8 sri astra do you recon it will become cheaper on insurance or stay the same? What do you's think of the mk4 1.8 sri 3 door? are they reliable? (surely nothings as bad as the sax), whats your opinions on this?
Cheers in advance

they are vauxhall....so yes reliable lol...and im sure a 2ltr astra is only insurance group 9 (or is that the vectra?? :S) it will be cheaper put it that way....lol

[kclipston]

thankyou, Im seriously tempted .... Again :y: they are slow though aint they? i dont really mind on the speed as i dont use it often enough anyway but i love astras so may have to go back :y:

[kclipston]

im wondering which one to pick, im mainly getting rid of the saxo so i can save (cheaper insurance on the astra = more money saved) which would you go for :

1.6 16v sxi
1.8 16v sri

?

[Goldsax]

1,8 :y:....lol

1.8 defo

[savo]

The 1.8 16v SRI is group 9 and has 115bhp..so you would defo save some money on the insurance making the step down a group 14 VTS.
What about the 2.2 16v SRI? It has 147bhp but its group 13..you would still save money..not very much tho.

i think the sxi and sri's are smart looking cars (especially in black).. The 2.2 16v sri is the best fun (and the Bertone's are mint) but then ur insurance will be more and petrol will obviously be an issue...

Good, reliable cars though, easy to work on and loads of parts about.

nah dont fancey a 2.2 .... its just not needed really, i just like the extras that the 1.8 has over the 1.6 but obv the 1.6 is cheaper.... i think the 1.8 is the one to go for :y:
