Vauxhall Astra GSi Turbo

Hi people,

What's your views on the Vauxhall Astra GSi Turbo? I'm thinking of getting
it and want views from people who currently owe one. And if I was to buy
one where would the cheapest place be to get hold of one? How could I get a
dealer to reduce the list price? And is it worth buying an Astra as I hear
it to be replaced at the end of the year with a new model?

Thanks in advance

Ferret

 

No comments on the Vauxhall Astra GSi Turbo?

 

Dunno Ferret, I believe it's a bit of a goer... fancy the turbo Cabriolet
myself. Have you tried 4car or AutoExpress for reviews?

As [I assume] it's the same engine as both the Coupe and Cabriolet turbo
models, so performance wise any such reviews may give you an inkling as to
its worth! [Together with any known pitfalls...]

Don't bother with Top Gear as Clarkson and his cronies only say "yes" to
anything wearing a blue oval badge!

Good luck...

;-)

 

i used to own one but got rid of it because it was such a piece of cr*p.
turbo lag was a problem. i certainly would not go back to one.

now looking at a the evo8, scuby or similar.

 

Thanks for that, 4car said it wasn't a bad car.

 

That bad??? :-(

I can't afford anything expensive and I don't mind the Astra so I thought
the GSi would be nice to have.
