Even in Sports mode?

What engine did the Astra have, sounds like it was not powerful / torquey enough for an auto box.

The last one I drove (properly) was my Dads BX1.9i Light car, powerful 'nuff engine, that could be driven fast, overtaking was great. Probably not as good as the 9-3 I drive now.
