I see one of those driving around here from time to time, very impressive sight, especially the rear of the car which looks fantastic with the 4 exhausts Well, back on topic, I'm gonna get my learners license very very very soon (next week or so). And I'll be driving our Opel Astra break. Some specs : 1.7 L turbo diesel. Uses about 4.8 l / 100 km (compare that to some american models ) Top speed of 175 km/h and a 0-100 of 14.5 sec. Anyways, it is sufficient. I love our car! And it can cruise around on the highway, fully loaded, 5 ppl + ski thingy on the roof at 145 km/h for long periods of time (1000 km is like a normal holiday distance). And that would be while driving at around 3000 rpm.... Which isn't too bad for 55kW or 75hp
