Nope, still need a good size boot, so hear goes, and i really can't believe i am saying this but it may well be that the Astra GSi could be the answer ! 197BHP and 185 lb-ft of torque as standard is a good stating point ! ESP and traction control, leather heated Recaros, cruise control, 308mm front brakes, cheaper insurance (group 15 as opposed to 16), cheaper road tax (214g/km) 0-60 in 7.0 and 149mph ! I'm actualy starting to convince myself now which is good. What isn't good is i remember driving my brothers and while it was undoubtedly fast the thing that stuck in my head was the steering and for the wrong reasons - it felt over-assisted and too light, entering fast corners at high speeds didn't seem as balanced and natural as in the ZS but maybe that's something that time would change ?!
