Will have to be a superb all round package to have any chance in a 'bang for your buck' type contest (ie: Motor magazine).

43k plus on road makes it tough to compete in the Hot hatch segment thats for sure. Dont remember reading it on the site but I dont think its AWD is it?

If its not it should be at that price.

Also, if its not AWD I hope it has a pretty smart LSD.

i dun think any fast astra ever had an LSD from factory :P

they do have a smart traction control, tho. does that help? lol
