Summary
What does this car say about you?
Its not all about power!
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Thay dont like it saying its too hard riding and not very comfy. I'm not interested in their views.......

Probebly not. Its too dated, but if I was, it'd be the 1.6 again. Good balance of performance and running costs.

Need a 4x4 cause of my new house in the sticks, so I'm looking at a Ford Kuga or Subaru Forrester.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Absolutely fantastic road handling. Theres nothing this car won't tackle. I had an Astra VXR that I sold cause it was too expensive to run that wasn't a patch on my current cars handling. Its not very comfy, quite poor over bad roads actually, but then thats not the point!
What's it like to park?
Easy. Good veiws, but poor turning circle.
