As you can see its an astra sri 1.8 with exterior pack, i really like the look of these, i know its not got alot of power (125bhp) as it could only just manage to keep up with my pug (stage 1) and even then it was slowley pulling away lol
It comes with a decent spec really:
Automatic adaptive forward lights (xenon)
Head lamp washers
Auto rain sensing wipers
Auto dimming rear view mirror
Full heated leather interior
Cdc40 (premium audio with the better speakers) with inbuilt 6cd changer
Gid display
Air con
Sport mode
Comfort windows (can open and close from the fob)
18" gloss black penta alloys
Plans are
Lows
Full smd conversion (from standard yellow ish orange lights to blue)
Add cruise control
Maybe a better grill or just paint the one on there
Paint calipers
Tints
Thats it really c+c welcome

Like the look of these, seem to handle well too! Shame it's only the 1.8 but from what i've heard the cars themselves aren't bad.. mrs dad has the 150 CDTI with the exterior pack in white and it looks lush

I was going to go for the 19cdti 150 but the whole dmf problem put me off a little

Tbh with you i haven't heard of a DMF problem on those engines, i know quite a few that've been used as rep cars and gone around the world and back with no issues
RE: My new non pug car - Strikeforce - 19-07-2012
All i've heard is dmf failures as well as egr and swirl flaps going wrong lol

Not my cup of tea TBH but looks smart and a very tidy example
RE: My new non pug car - Midnightclub - 19-07-2012
Alot of stuff is overblown by people though, like you only every hear the bad.. no one ever goes onto a forum and goes "yeah my car has been 100% reliable no problems" it'll be "cars shit this.. cars wank that" etc.. lol

The EGR problems on SRi150 stopped on 56 plate (I think)
