The vectra drive quite hard for a family saloon, the astra coupe drives abit nicer but the vectra does look nicer

So I'd advise test driving the coupe and the vectra and see which one you prefer driving
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

When you say it drive hard do you just mean the ride cus that's something that don't bother me if I'm honest !

yeah was a bummer mate, still miss the it really, was on the route of doing a GSi replica with it, but then that happened :(

Yeah MG ZS's are alright, only downside on them is the head gaskets tbh! I wanted a ZR before my corsa B but went for something cheaper on insurance.

The ride mainly but even just overall uncomfortable, and I drive a lowered car everyday on bumpy horrible country roads :lol:

The ride isn't so bad imo Johnny, the suspension on them is bouncy pretty much like a standard corsa's suspension :lol:

If your still looking at RX8's i'd steer clear haha. The rotary engine's need to be serviced much more often and they just drink fuel. Definitely go for RWD though, so much fun. If only I could insure one :(

If insurance is doable get the 2 liter though, the turbos go for big money but the n/a is still quick

Always found the 1.6 lacking in power, I know its power to weight is good but always found myself thinking it should do more, that could just be me though :lol:
