2387.1 | | BAHTAT::HILTON | Beer...now there's a temporary solution | Thu Mar 09 1995 14:43 | 4 |
| I *thought* it looked very plain, nothing to distinguish it from the
low-end Astras.
Seemed quite fast when I followed one in My R19 16v

2387.2 | Get a Yellow Peril *8-) | FORTY2::WILKINS | Testing is a desirable thing - like a Dentist | Thu Mar 09 1995 16:48 | 17 |
| Hi Grahame,
I've just got one on the scheme..impressed so far, I also drove the demonstrator
from Wadham Kenning.
As reply -.1 states the looks are "underplayed" when compared to the
old GSI but IMHO it looks a lot "cleaner".
Comfortable and quick...very quick *8-)
Good value on the scheme when compared to Cavalier SRI etc.
Any specific questions ?
Cheers,
Kevin.

here :-)
Still, I can't comment.

2387.8 | 1.6 Sport, anyone ? | CURRNT::PAYNE_A | Stupid Thing | Thu Mar 09 1995 20:28 | 8 |
| Does anybody have any views on the 1.6 16v Sport? Personally, I'm not
sure about the steel wheels with the plastic-looking covers in the
middle.
I'm still waiting for Vauxhall Marketing to phone up and say they've
got one for me to try.

| Graham,
Craig Harris in OLO has one, why not ask him what he thinks? x3030

| How does the GLS 1.6i compare to this? Is it quite quick too, or
sluggish and heavy as some of the earlier models have been? I've
seen the specs but would be interested to hear the views of people
who have driven them.

| The Sport models have uprated front and rear anti-roll
bars - the gas damped shocks are standard across the range.
I haven't pushed it yet but the suspension and handling seem
responsive - the ride is quite firm..fnarr..fnarr.
Some comparisons (albeit from the manufacturers brochure)
between 1.6i 16v GLS 3dr Hatch and 1.8i 16v Sport 3dr Hatch:
GLS Sport
Max Power 100PS 115PS
Max Speed 118mph 124mph
0-60 10.5s 9.0s
30-50(4th) 8.5 7.5

2387.13 | Pleased with mine !! | SNOTTY::BARRY | Ploppy Sir, Son of Ploppy | Mon Mar 13 1995 21:53 | 11 |
| I've had my 1.8i 16V Sports for a couple of months now and I am very impressed.
Reasonable space, comfortable ride, good extras, good price and pretty nippy.
Can't seriously slate it although it is developing a few little rattles already !!
Cheers

(P.s. I didnt have the yellow colour........seemed a bit understated)

Hi,
Has anyone seen the 1996 model of the Astra Sport 1.8i 16v (3dr)?
Are there any new features, apart from being available in Graphite?
Cheers,
Emer

| Hi,
If Graphite = Diamond Black, that's no change from '95
models it was also available on those.
If Graphite is a new colour...ignore me *8-)
Kevin.
|
2387.21 | Graphite = sparkly grey | COMICS::SHELLEY | Thats all I have to say about that | Mon Sep 11 1995 20:40 | 1 |
| We'll ignore you :-)
|
2387.22 | sparkly grey = Diamond Black | KERNEL::PARRY | Trevor Parry | Mon Sep 11 1995 21:04 | 4 |
| My Vauxhall is technically called Diamond Black but is a sparkly grey
colour. Does that count.

2387.26 | Metallic/Pearlescent | BELFST::BVOFIT::FITZPATRICK | EMER | Tue Sep 12 1995 22:27 | 7 |
| Diamond Black is a Two-coat metallic colour, whereas
Graphite is a Two-coat pearlescent colour (much nicer) :-)
