Whys that? Its no different apart from a marketing ploy from Vauxhall to have some fancy coloured black trim. No performance goodies.

Standar seats are bucket recaros. You can upgrrade to full leather.

Would be far better off going for a nice Blue one , 4 pots, ARB, exhaust, IC, remap, and have a 270+bhp pocket rocket. Thats £5k already in modifications.

Paintwork is thin and sh1t as well.

Racing comes with fancy badges and door seales, painted black parts, rear valence etc. It was a publicity stunt to entice people to buy yet "another special edition" VXR. It worked

Who wants poxy cruise control in a HOT hatch Cruise control is reserved for Rover 75 and BMW owners, not 200+bhp hot hatches.

Reds a free paint. Blue costs. Can't remember about black or silver, think they are paid paint upgrades too.

Get one with sat nav, changes the dash so much. Standard "dotty" dash is bloody orrible.

Don't buy any blue VXRs, with 19"s, and Sat Nav, on an 06, from Kent dealers At least not for a few months.

Sorry, driven both, no contest between them. IMO the GSi isn't even close. Its lifeless, boring. VXR is fun and inspiring.

hardly a fair contest considering the gsi is older and costs half as much, if not even less.

Cruise control is a £30 quid stalk and 2 minutes with opcom on an astra h, there's no reason not to have it.
