New Astra road tests

Drive has a test of the new 2.0 Low-boost Turbo today:

Also, there is a test of the same car in this month's Wheels, where they are saying that the low-boost Turbo will become the new SRi, replacing the current atmo 2.2, with the full 147kW SRi Turbo and maybe even a 180kW model to come later.

In general, both journalists liked the new Astra with minor reservations - both had some negative remarks about steering feel. Interestingly, both said it looked great - so maybe it's one of those cars that looks better in the metal than it does in photos (like the Vectra).
