Handling is great, power not so great >.<
But hey what do you expect for 17k?
But handling is pretty impressive, very planted on the highway etc. better than the last FWD car we owned 2005 TL, and better than the corolla, you can actually corner pretty fast not much body roll.
Suspension is pretty stiff though which explains the lack of body roll, but I don't mind.

Not liking how the car makes you feel so small :haha:, not sure how you describe it but you can't see outside much, but basically the opposite of http://evertak.files.wordpress.com/2...y-tall-man.jpg

Okay you just made me want an Astra especially with that Euro VXR kit! :)

What are you going to do with the Z?

Wait till it gets stolen?
Run it to the ground?

lol...You hate your Z that much?

LOL nah, it's actually quite lovable, but pointless right now, especially when you can't afford to do much with it.
It's fun, but not the most practical or safest thing a New driver like myself should be driving in.

lol what did it do to you? hahaha dude slam that shit now :) (the astra)

It's already lower than the Base XE because it's the XR doesn't really seem to need to be any lower.

I'm so tempted to pick up the last 3dr Salsa Red -5spd here in Kelowna now.. THe only thing that's holding me back is the lack of ass warmers .. :(

LOL mine has ass warmers *nana nana poo poo*

Is it effective?

The ones on my old MK4 GTI would fry your ass if you're wearing shorts.

Well, my other option is to pick up the white one with the premium pkg, but it's an auto.. I'd rather freeze my ass than to have to drive an auto ..

I used them last night, they have 3 settings, I don't know personally I'm not a fan of butt warmers so even on the lowest setting it was uncomfortable for me, but yeah they work.

I am paying for the car, no way in hell i am going to get a body kit for that thing.

lol...why would u need ass warmer if its warm enough to wear shorts? or why would you wear shorts in winter? LOL!!!

^ because he can

If you ever end up feeling you really want them just get them added in later?

you make me wanna just wear triangular underpants and sit in my AMG and turn the butt heater on.

That just inspired me for a Halloween costume

Hmm where should the RS sticker go?
Or just switch over my LPF?

What made you go for the Astra...Don't you want something quicker?

post more pics up!!!

the third slightly bigger light. at the end it just reaches 100 at the 5th light so 20 mph/big light, or 10mph/light regardless of size.
