Progress thread : White Astra 2.0 Cdti Sri vx line

[marcus01]

Update. Sold my car 2 weeks ago. Decided I wanted a change after 3 years and having driven many rentals over the last 2 years, mostly SUV types. Each time I climbed back in the Astra, I was struck with how heavy everything in the Astra was to drive. (i.e. Clutch, gearshift, steering, on the road etc.)

Anyway, in the end I had also decided that a SUV was not for me (I did develop a soft spot for the Nissan Qashqui diesel though) so opted for a Ford Focus which was one of the many rentals I drove and the best of the lot to drive. I also had a Astra K 1.4 150ps and it was good to drive but it just wasn't as good as the Focus. Also the Astra K forum is a bit of a horror show regarding problems with the Astra K etc. After 5 Astras, I decided I needed a change.

So in the end I got a good deal on a black 2015 Focus Titanium X (1.5 diesel) with 12k on the clock. The 1.5 is quite punchy even compared to the Astra 2.0 cdti. (Less weight, shorter gearing etc.)

Titanium X spec is fully loaded with:-
Bi-Xenons headlights
Part Leather
Park Assist
Climate Control
Electric everything
Front/Rear sensors - Rev camera
Nav - Sync2

Only downside I have found is that Sync3 would have been better as it has Android Auto.

I've managed to sell on all the extra bits and pieces I had for the Astra.

Current plans for the Focus is a Bluefin remap after I put on a few thousand miles.

It's been a blast.

Ciao
