Astra GTC 1.6 turbo 180PS

Anyone on the forum have one? Nice enough to drive but doesn't feel all that fast though. Has anyone had any problems? I couldn't help but notice that the wheels are 18's and that likely means steep tyre costs. Any actual owners?

I dont have a GTC, but do have an Astra J 5 door, mine runs on factory 18" wheels, tyres are pretty expensive, but, far cheaper than 19" tyres

The J is a very heavy car, so although you have 180bhp, you still have to work it pretty hard to extract the best from it

Thanks for the reply, I think I've gone off it just now.
