Cheers

probably not as much joy, but easily remappable and a lot better on the wallet

After the amount of money the Astra cost me I'll compromise on a bit of power for the savings in money, this will fill me with joy

Yes the GP will make you feel like master of the universe, you will high rise like a robot from the golden void.

(see what I did there)

Lol.

Thinking about performance do any of you guys know what the 0 - 60 is for 1.9 JTD 130 is? I cant imagine it being much slower than my old money pit.

I had a test drive and it felt really responsive but the sales guy looked a bit freaked out when I booted it so I went steady.
