Well, I'm a big guy, so... For my job I'm either visiting clients with just
myself so all I need is a seat, so the Astra and MINI fit the bill there. I
sometimes need to carry boxes of equipment to jobs but I'm sending more and
more of that stuff directly from the warehouse by courier, and then meeting
it on site rather than delivering it myself so there's no real need for
masses of space. With the Astra I can drop the seats if needs be and get
decentish load space.

The Astra is big enough I reckon to take the three of us and luggage etc. if
we're going away for a weekend or a couple of nights. If we're going
anywhere for longer and need more space then I've still got the turbo'd up
Zafira for that. I considered the Vectra SRi for a moment but they don't do
it with the 197bhp turbo for some reason and the 170bhp version isn't going
to set the world on fire performance-wise.
