A lot more poke than I expected to be honest.
Been driving 1.6 SXi's for the last 10 years which IIRC are 104 bhp and this is 108bhp but it's much more lively and feels like a 1.9 or 2.0, pulls nicely in all gears.
Super low RPM though...sits around 1500 instead of the 3000 that I'm used to.

I believe it's the special edition, not a biturbo. It has biturbo alloys but will have the standard cloth interior I presume. Strange really, how they name a range 'special' then leave the interior standard trim. Even a vx line astra came with the sri trim, you would think they could at least give the special edition a sri trim.
Yep Special Edition and if I bought it new would be pissed off at cloth seats (I'll add some interior pix later)
The new 2016 SRi GTC has really nice black leather seats.

When I've done my first 500 miles I'll give some feedback
