doesnt matter how powerfull your car is you get used to it evenually....

agree with mattk, and 180bhp small car is going to be fast, but colins used to m3/rs, not a fair comparison at all.

id still personally get a clio sport anyways but corsa vxrs are very nice

I was just thinking this, but remembered my terror when I gave my mate a shot of the XE. Not that he's a bad driver, but I was constantly telling him to watch out. Don't know if it was just because I wasn't in control.

You can see that while driving them as well. Fucking well annoying

Ive noticed the newer ones dont have the silver bit on the dash . Guessing vaux realised they fucked up

I went in one about a year ago when I wasn't even driving at that time, so wasn't 'used' to any car. But still it felt slow. Felt like it didn't have any go...

standard power, they feel restricted. Get a precat decat and a filter and they free up . Turbo spools up alot better.

The only Corsa VXR i've been in was an Arctic. I was quite impressed with the noise it made.

Wasnt very impressed with it to say the least!

Didnt feel quick when it was given some, felt a bit clumsey as well when shown some vigorous driving. Inside wasnt that nice, seats were nice

IMO a 'B' GSi's better

Have to dissagree, i think the interior is lovely, gear knob, wheel, sheats, gloss/chrome, nice dials. I also prefer it to the Astra VXR Interior.

You want to have a sit in a Clio 197/200 if you think the interior isnt that nice in the VXR.

Still only 200bhp, I know of a couple of fast ones but they have had alot of work done to them. I don't like the front of them but I like the back, and they make a nice noise.

there's a greek tuning company petropaulos tuning that have got a corsa vxr up to 500bhp. Where as our country struggles to get past 300. There are a few vids on youtube. Type in monster vxr.

It's not that small a car though, it's got all the creature comforts so pretty heavy!

Are we really having this discussion? A Corsa GSi compared to a Corsa VXR?

Not in terms of power, no, we're not. That's why it wasnt mentioned.

In terms of what then?

Nothing in a Corsa B is as good as a Corsa D
