Re: Astra?

A lot of Americans hear anything less than 200 horsepower and they freak. Both the Astra and the Civic (and their competitors) with the "weaker" engine have plenty of get up and go for most people.

Honestly, I rarely use the power my Si has under the hood unless I'm passing on the freeway, or bored when I'm merging on the freeway and feel like having some fun. Other than that, less horsepower would be fine.
