My New car

Princey · 28 Oct 2008 at 15:30

After much thought and many test drives I've finally settled on an Astra VXR in Arden Blue. I prefered the rawness of the VXR over the ST and also the looks. Just put the deposit on it and will pay the rest when I collect it Saturday.
I don't have any good pictures at the moment, only the dealer ones. I'll get some proper pics when I get it home.

Nice car. Not sure i'd pay £12k for one, but have fun in it anyway

£12k buys some much more serious metal that that....but if you like it, that's all that matters

Princey · 28 Oct 2008 at 15:36

I guess 12k would buy some cracking cars but hot hatches are my type of car and IMO this was my favorite.

Depends what you want doesn't it, i mean for 12k he could have an E39 M5 or 968CS that costs an arm and a leg to run but i mean its more serious metal...

Tbh i wouldn't spend 12k on ANY astra but its a 2007 car has a fair amout of power its not too bad at all.

if you wanted to buy a 12k e39 m5, you'd probably need another 12k just to run and service it.

Nice car btw.

I don't see a roof rack

InvaderGIR · 28 Oct 2008 at 15:50

As for the actual topic...£12k on that...no offence, but I know of better ways to spend the cash...mind you it's likely to be financed etc. I guess.

I'm sure there are proper hot hatches around for that cash, but your choice and if you are happy, is what matters.

Thomas. PLease. · 28 Oct 2008 at 15:52

proper hot hatches? explain.

Firestar_3x · 28 Oct 2008 at 15:52

Its faster than the CTR and the Golf GTI round the topgear test track.....

Thomas. PLease. · 28 Oct 2008 at 15:54

my thoughts exactly. If that isn't a hot hatch, i'd like to know what is.

It's a jib at the roofrack scene

Peronal choice and all that, did you try a Leon Cupra R?

[TW]Fox · 28 Oct 2008 at 15:57

What APR?

Princey · 28 Oct 2008 at 15:57

The roof rack is on the car behind. I tried a 2003 model but wasn't keen of the styling.

EDIT: I paid cash!

I just don't like them, to me it isn't a proper hot hatch...but then to me a proper one is one from the 80's/early 90's.
