Hmm. Here they have a picture of the car from 2006. But I've never seen a sedan version of an Astra H, only the hatchbacks. I've read the sedan is only for the American market.

I know what you mean. The 5-speed gearbox has the transmission ratios too tight together. They should have named the gears 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 and 3. I always skip gears when accelerating. This allows to drive the 5th down to 40km/h without making the engine stutter. The bad side: I get the desire to shift another time when the 8V engine is at 3000rpm at 100km/h. But it's already top gear. Darn, I want a 6th gear!
