Boot looks small? If its anything like the Insignia inside, its going to be rubbish.

What's the 1.4 Turbo like in the Zafira then? Any good.

It's going to be rubbish if you need a big boot, not if you don't.

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

A pissy little one litre lump even with the aid of a turbo is going to be struggling in a car the size and weight of the new Astra.

My cousin had a 1 litre turbo Focus estate for a while and said it was great for running around in and short trips  , but struggled a bit at motorway speeds if you needed a bit extra to get past something. 

I imagine that longevity will be compromised. 30,000 miles and it will probably be a bucket full of bits.

Just been looking at personal contract hire.While chatting to a young girl, Circa £200 a month and who cares if it falls to bits after that.

You got something to say? 

Yes i have ...  Your always chatting to young girls   

Tells them he has a van full of puppies and would they care to take a look.

I live in Yorkshire, we eat puppies up here.

Deep fried, I imagine.

Maybe it's photos but it looks smaller than usual for the size of that car

Wifey, the person who I wanted it for, throws a briefcase and a few books in there. Ample.

there must have been something wrong with the car as I have just had for the past month a 1.0 litre focus zectec (albeit the higher compression engine) and it went like a little rocket

[Viral_Jim]

I had one as a hire car in Germany over the summer, I found it to be fine, obviously not a rocket ship but didnt feel out of its depth on a-roads, motorways etc.

It also sounded quite good, compared to a standard 1.6 lump I mean. However I think if you extract enough performance from it to make reasonable progress the economy is shot!

I looked at the new astra to replace the Leon as my lease is up I wasn't too impressed not as comfortable as the Leon and seemed less space inside and too get one the same spec as the Leon was nearly 3.5k more

Leon's not a car I've really thought about, but I've heard good things about them. Trouble is, when it's for the wife, she's got to like the look of it, and I just know she'd thing the Leon was too plain.

You're overthinking things here Uncle STEMO.
