Vauxhall Astra 1.8 VVT Petrol


Power: 150bhp
0-62 9.5 seconds
Torque:129 lb-ft
Top speed: 129 MPH
economy: 33.5 mpg

Don't go for the 1.4 model as it is disastorously underpowered. if you do go on the motorway with the 1.4 then keep it in second gear for the entry of the motorway its better for the slip road. keep it in 2nd gear until you hit the red line. there are better engines in the range please completley ignore the 1.4 apart from that it drives alright.

BMW M5

BMW M5 2005

 5.0 Litre V10.  
 507 BHP
Top Speed 204mph
Limited top speed 155 mph
 Torque 384 lb-ft.
 0-62 is 4.5


It drives extremely well for a BMW M series. When I took it on the motorway, I had it in M mode which meant that the limiter was disengaged. You have to be a very confident driver to be able to drive in M mode. While in this mode you can overtake with no problems and its great for leaving cars behind on the motorway, nothing will keep up with you as this car can be aggressive. The M mode enables you to turn this car in to executive racing car. This is the most fun I've had in a BMW M series.
If you have the opportunity to test drive one then I highly recommend doing so because its a fantastic car, but make sure its the old model from 2005 to 2008 onward. 

End of report.
