For my first car Im getting a...

Vauxhall Astra Sri

1.8
3 door
2006 model.

And Im going to absolutely rag it!
lol I have a black cdti turbo diesel astra. Off the mark it wouldn't be too far behind an sri... bucket loads of torque and a pretty narrow power band means lots of gear changing but it's a laugh to drive. Biggest negative is that it's engine is pretty low tech compared to peugeot and VW diesels so it's pretty loud...it sounds like a tractor hehe.
Any mods on the car? Ahhh a loud car always turn heads, fantastic if you want people to look.
nah it's pretty stock... as for turning heads... it's doesn't have a V8 rumble , sounds more like a clunky combine harvester.
Yep i had a car like that, problem was the manofold, very loud for all the wrong reasons.. Also the gearbox and clutch had a very healthy feel, nightmare!
