You're kind of contradicting yourself there. Its a 'cheap' compromise but at an overpriced 14K? Also do your research - the whole set up was designed in a wind tunnel (make of that what you will) and has been uprated...we're not just talking bodykits and suspension.

Great comeback
It was a stupid argument to use in the first place as for road cars (up to a point) mechanical grip is more important.
And you know 1st hand what mechanical grip it has? Gimme a break.

there's nothing bad to say about the corsa vxr tbh. Apart from the fact it's an expensive corsa of course, which is a problem for some people and not for others.
the problem ive got with it, is that it's neither a nice expansive place to be when you're doing a leisurely A-B and its not an absolute track weapon either. for the asking price, id probably go for something more performance focused if i wanted a performance car. £14k is Elise 111s money.

A Scoob would not be THAT much overall, nor would a 350z or S15 or so on - and they are all better cars anyway
Don't give me that crap, you know full well those cars cost considerably more to run.
I wouldnt want an S15 at this pricepoint due to the age of it let alone the sort of person who would consider a new Corsa.
Feel I must comment on this thread lol.
I read forums all the time where someone starts a slanging session about the Corsa VXR and usually theres not many around to defend it...but this one is a little different which is good.
£14.5K for a Corsa VXR is actually a really good price if it was brand new.
You can only really slate a corsa VXR if you've driven one and if you've got balls enough to push it how its meant to be driven there really isn't much to be negative about. Its a great little hot hatch, I got 6.6 to 60 out of mine (completely standard) and dyno'd at 198bhp...now that is competition for the Renault lovers out there. Believe what you like but the handling is right up there too.
As for it being a Vauxhall...so what? I'd rather have a car that can **** all over a 30K Audi or BMW.
And the piston 4 issue?? If you do your research, although it has happened to a couple of standard cars where warrenty has covered it, most of them were actually re-mapped cars and if your gonna do that you can throw your warrenty out the window anyway.
Each to their own, but before slating it 'because its a Vauxhall' actually put your money where your mouth is and drive one!
Much love!
May have already been asked, but are you the chick who won the lottery and dreamed of owning a Corsa?
/crosses fingers it is.
I know for a fact that the 350z would. My friend gets around 18mpg no matter what. I get between 28-35 even with a lead right foot
Ahh don't you love these spirited debates
