    The japs just feel like "tin metal cans" at this speed.

    I share the same opinion to. I drove an Astra for a 1 year. A Corolla before that.
    Yup, that's what i mean.

    Astra shares quite similar dynamics with the BMW E36 316i... it's not much on the acceleration side but the gearings (which is typical German) will make it cruise easily at highway speeds and the heft/suspension travel also makes for a solid ride. Each car still has it's strengths... down side to that car is that it's soo friggin high maintainance based on my experience (thankfully I don't own it and just maintained it for someone).

    My opinion, it wouldnt be worth it really to spend too much on improving the performance... just go with the basic bolt-ons then get Bilstein shocks plus aftermarket pads.
