Hey everyone,
I have always been a car guy, and in the future I am hoping to upgrade my Focus Sport to something a bit more special, powerful, fun etc. Obvious choice would be a Focus ST, but I have always loved the look of the Opel OPC and Astra VXR since they came here, big wheels, wide body, awesome power etc. I test drove an Astra VXR the other day and loved every second of it. So I am wondering if there is any major problems I should know about? I had a 2001 Astra many years ago and I had my fair share of problems with it. I am curious to know if the new ones are more reliable?
Looking under the bonnet it looks to be the same Ecotec motor with a turbo. Do they have a timing belt?
