My friend who literally started off the "NI Vaux" (northern ireland vauxhall club) and had only ever bought vauxhalls, actually sold the forum up (as well as his few vauxhalls) and bought himself a Mazda 3 MPS, which he even chose over the Astra VXR.

He claims he wont ever be back in the vauxhall, as the Mazda impresses him so much. Abolutely loves it. Cracker car!!
