My Porsche cost me less than the price of certain hot Vauxhalls.
Boxsters are coming into the price bracket now. Granted they are slightly higher to run that your average hot hatch. But only servicing and tyres from what I see.
I ran a quote the other day and a 3.2 Boxter S is cheaper to insure than my current Focus ST. Needless to say I am tempted!
Don't you mean back
well played sir!!You can get a RWD convertible flat 6 rear engine Vauxhall now?
You didn't specify like for like.
So you bought a second hand porsche for less than a brand new vauxhall - is that what you're saying?
You'd rather have a brand new vauxhall over a second hand Porsche? Is that what you're saying?
Isnt this all a little irrelevant
you can buy a second hand ferrari over a new vauxhall too. Doesnt mean you should
Eh? Clearly not. Can you not read or something?
That's exactly what I'm driving at but this is like dealing with primary school kids.

Sure you buy a porsche for cheaper than a vauxhall, look at 944's you can get them for £1500.
Kind of a dumb comparison really.

Location is no excuse for your grammer. Plus Hartlepool isn't the proper North East, it's the butthole of the North East, if the North East farted; the smell and sound would come from Hartlepool

all i have done is ask a simple question about the vxr i didnt know it was going to turn into a heated decusion haha
If you can get yourself to one of the VXR track sessions, that would be a way of getting a test of the cars. Although it will probably be the new Astra rather than the old.

For what its worth, I thought the "old" Astra VXR was a hoot to drive around Knockhill. I wasn't so keen on the Corsa, i personally wouldn't have taken the Corsa over the Astra for any reason.

Has everyone who has slated them, acctually driving them?
Or is this just the standard OcUK response to Vauxhall? Yes there may be better cars, but they're not a 'bad' hot hatch. Far from it infact, frightnely quick, pretty decent handling in stock guise and not bad to look at.
Resonibily cheap to maintain and pretty reliable from what I've heard too.
Not that I'd ever buy one mind.

Why?
I am also from the North East but am perfectly capable of writing in English, and not ending every sentence with 'lol' or 'haha'.
