Astra SRi vs Focus XR5

[Miyagi]

Hi All,

There is a new article on Carsguide....

http://carsguide.news.com.au/story/0...-21822,00.html

Compares the Astra SRi to the XR5... I won't let the cat out of the bag and ruin it. I do think both cars get a pretty good wrap though.

Cheers,
Miyagi

That's a very interesting read, although as they say, the Xr5 should be compared to the similarily powered VXR Astra.

And maybe an uprated Xr5 FPV version, well that will be very interesting indeed, since it has a 2.5ltr engine to play with....interesting times ahead for the hot hatch market.

there is a huge difference over the SRi and VXR trust me even though its only 40bhp difference but the 200bhp engine is still a nice motor
