MK4 Astra GSI Chavvy boost bus

Interior doesn't bother me at all. No worse than my Clio and the Recaros are lovely to sit in.

But I can see why some people would say it's dated. It is 10 yr old though!

Had a couple and I like, any Astra after that is just bloody ugly!
Green coupe belongs to turbo Tom in Boston. 480bhp, best big power astra I have been in. Eds mapped. Goes like stink, and I mean stink!
 
I do like these actually, I like the fact you hardly see them anymore - they look good in black!
 
I went vaux to renault, then back to vaux. And back to renault because the car was made into a mental thing. Every car has something over another one. Astra smooth fast comfort, renault is a riot! Lol. Not as smooth and comfortable.
 
Astra sounds decent mate, interesting what you say about the handling

ive just saw that evo in Whitehaven, over here with my lass for the night

Was it going slow? It's usually on full boost haha!

Yeah I really thought i would miss the Clio and it's handling but the only thing I really miss is its heavy steering feel.
 
I've always really liked them, I just hate the dash, like loathe entirely. They drive nice, decent to work on, seriously tunable for peanuts in comparison to most other motors then I go to look at one and sit in it :(

I dunno how you can be that passionate about the dash tbh! It's defo from the meh school of design. Otherwise nice cars though I agree
 
I don't know either, there's certainly worse Dashboards out there. It's probably the old Astra van I did 24hr callouts in years ago *shudders*
 
The dash is horrible. It's not so much the dash itself but just how much of a contrast that dull and bland interior is to the exterior.

The exterior has aged really well I think but then you get inside and it's just grim.
 
The interior is exactly the same as a 1.6 base model astra and a diesel astravan.

That's the bit I hate about them.
 
I can see what people mean about the dash but its no worse than my 182s dash so it doesn't really bother me.

Looking at current prices of them and Astra vxr's I honestly think one of these in the future will be worth more than the Astra H VXR. You can already pick them up for less than £5k if you look around.
 
Really should stop coming in this thread to look at the pics........... then looking on ebay/PH

Nice change to the 182 mate, Had a soft spot for these a few years ago in Arden blue. There was a silly powered silver one at rs tuning about a year ago, sounded unreal.

Yeah I never even considered one until the 182 went bang, then I was trying to find something for the same sort of value for money that would offer similar peformance/fun for similar running costs.

I think I know the one you mean, think it was about 450bhp. Silly quick.
 
Big fan of these as I've said to you previously when you either first had it, or were looking at one in the "what car I'm looking at today" thread. For me they look nice and the sound they give off when played with is brilliant... Can't beat the sound of a decent boosted 4 banger!

havent really seen the interior on one to comment though....

You dont see many on the roads now either, well round this area anyway. It looks nice in silver.

Yeah it was around that power.

Ha yeah bonnet raisers are awful! I think it pulls the vents off quite well.
