Guest Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 For what you pay for them they are bags of fun they look way better than any Astra (ASHTRAY as my dad calls them) ever made and they can punch with the best of them you spent wisely i must admit having a baby would have said the MC2 would have been better was for me when i had my first kid but none the less great cars for hassle free motoring.
