My rides: 2004 Opel/Bertone TS Astra turbo convertible - 2012 Mercedes Benz C204 C Class coupe
Others: 2009 Honda City VTiL sedan - 2015 Fiat 500
yeh, every car has their pros and cons but Ive never had any of the issues youve had. But the astra turbo/vxr could have been better with a limited slip differential, all-alloy engine, direct injection and variable valve timing as seen on the mazda. Its the first time Ive heard people complaining about leather on a mazda. Try folding your rear seats in your vxr to carry something for a day and let me know how your leather looks the day after...hahaha!
I know an AH Astra owner who had his front seats retrimmed 4 times under warranty before he got rid of it...and he said it was the worst lemon ever (had heaps of other issues with engine as well) but then his wife bought a coupe without leather and it was fine...just seems that astras have more faults than others.
u didnt directly say the S3 was better but u mentioned money was not an issue but u still preferred the vxr over the s3...what was I supposed to think??
but the sri-t or vxr are not bad cars for the amount you pay..thats for sure. I am just a very picky person and like my car built to a certain standard without compromise to looks as well, and keep resale value.
anyways, back to the topic, have you test driven any of the hot hatches yet? any comments?
