astra looks better but the focus's 5cyl destroys it in torque... engine transplant into the astra and we're happy thats fords special model tho, better off comparing the xr5 to the hsv vrx which wheels did Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Is the Astra intercooled?? cant believe they would make a turbocharged car nowdays without a cooler. Id buy a black or white astra for a daily, but not brand new.. wait a few years and find a nice elderly driven one for low to mid 20's.. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Never driven any before, but I just like the look of the XR5 more. I've seen one of these up close in electric orange and they look sweet. The colour grabbed me when I first saw it. Real nice colour. I can just imagine a set of 18" chromies slammed on this.
