Default Astra 1.6 turbo

Has anyone driven the 180bhp Astra 1.6 Turbo?
I've been offered an unbeatable deal on a 3 door with full XP kit and i'm going to look at it today/ tommorow and was hoping for some feedback.
I had a 1.8 with XP kit a couple of years ago so know the trim levels but was wondering about the 1.6T - driving/ performance/ problems

cheers

well a couple of VX tuners do a remap to take it to 230bhi with lots more torque and it can be turned on/ off via the sport button
A set of eibach springs will help the handling, looks are ok, interior - well it's functional
