Had to share this,taken my car to ford / vauxhall dealer for

a big service and should have had a fiesta courtesy car.

But no,an Astra 1.6 energy 2013 (energy) having a laugh,this is so slow.

Got a few toys to play with,only 10k on the clock and round corners it rolls like hell.

Did think these was improved a lot from my old 09 corsa but the handling is shocking.

.......Just had to share it............... :)

    The drive is ok just corners but coming from vauxhall over 12 months ago and going the other way with the courtsey car,

    From my fiesta 1.6 tit to this astra i just not that keen on on it at all,did think it would be a lot better.

    My normal 1.6 / 2011 fiesta has a good kick down when you floor it but this is flat,ok big car but my mate has a

    focus 1 litre eco boost 2014 s and i drove that and it's 1000% better,corners/kick down and the whole drive.
