My flatmate from uni got one of those 1.9 CDTi Astra's as a courtesy car (for a 1.2 Ford KA, decent deal or what?
) and they are indeed a whole lotta fun Southwell, he was spose to come down for the day to meet up and have a look round Reading etc, we ended up driving the Astra around more
Only downside I didn't like much was that it seemed totally gutless at the high end of the rev spectrum, but the low end torque was pretty immense. Personally if anything I've made money on my car, but that's what you get buying a 16 year old Vauxhall Nova and making the flame pink flame red again
