Astri SRI Turbo
Anyone had any experiences with these, I think they are really nice and considering one for the next car.
Fuel Consumption etc?

Anyone else, I don't do alot of miles tbh and the mpg on my vts is shocking so I cant see that being too much of an issue.

if you think vts consumption is bad, dont buy one of these,
when booting it youll be lucky to hit 20mpg

Is this MK4?
Its cheaper version of the GSI, and only 500 were made.
I had coupe turbo and was averaging 29mpg

Yeah mk4, would love a GSI in arden blue but insurance will kill me, insurance on this isn't all that bad.
Same engine as coupe turbo so 29mpg isn't too bad

Personally I would go for a coupe, because they look better (imo), cheaper, more colours to choose from, most come with full leather interior etc

I do quite like them but theres something about the spoiler on the non-coupe model is what draws me to it and it wouldnt look right on a coupe.
This is nice though

I would much rather have an SRi Turbo over a Gsi purely for the rarity factor.
Would need to be flame red though.
Same engine as Gsi but with a different map, so produce less power.
