If my situation changes and I end up working closer to home, I want a petrol.

I've always loved the astra T8 for the heritage, they're only 200bhp but the Z20let engines are plenty tuneable.

So, what are everybodys opinions on swapping my GPS (see thread in sig for spec) for an astra T8? Or would you f*ck the T8 and go for the GSI?

discuss.

The worst thing you can possibly do when buying a car is 'settle' for something you don't really want as much as something else.

I love my car in red, but I wasn't patient and should have held on for a white one. I regret that I 'settled' for red.

i know what you mean but settling would be getting a punto JTD when a Stilo is what i really want, getting a GPS would mean waiting for them to be around the 4k mark.
 
I think you should keep your GPS...keep saving, and then buy a proper car mate :p

You've got everything the astra would give you in your GPS IMO...other than the sound lol. But I know what you mean, I wish i'd held off for a red or white one 'cos the black is a pain in the arse!!! Looks the dogs though when its clean (y)

But the astra has the sound, handling, seats and the tuneability!

since when did the GPS not handle though? And if you want seats you should get the decent abarth one's :rolleyes: yours is tuned by quite away considering you've just done a remap to it and boosted it by 50BHP! And i quite like the sound of my car thankyou :p

I think you should get what you want really (y) but keep the GPS so you can still come to meets ;)

I was just wondering what other people thought of the T8. I want something that not many others own. A car people ask questions about.

I'd like a T8 and take it to 290bhp. The GPS doesn't handle too bad but the T8 is better.

just testing the water like I said. Would be a few months away tbh if i don't talk myself into keeping the GPS.

to be fair they are really nice cars...if you like one and you're in a position to get one then go for it (y) 290bhp would be mental :yum:
