[quiky11]

veryy nice mate. loving the colour

[rey]

Personally would have gone for a Focus ST, but it looks nice dude

[webby]

looks cool man. sell the saxo it wont get a look in once the astra is here. it will do everything the saxo did but better.

[Matt-T]

very nice always liked these, i quite fancy one myself

[CRAIGNICHOLLS_VTS]

I had the nurburgring edition one last year mate, get a Remus exhaust for they sound amazing!!!

[NFS]

Personally would have gone for a Focus ST, but it looks nice dude

ST are nice but didnt drive as agressive as the vxr and they will fall apart like all fords do lol cheers for all the good comments

[TypeRDavid]

UNDERSTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!!! Focus is better in every way bud, nice looking the Astra though.

not looking to race it bud so understeer not a problem. the focus is just to composed its like buying a vtr when you have the money to get a vts and insure one. most point

[devilsadvocate]

Like it mate :)

Hope you got the 'velour mats' for £19.99 ;)

[NFS]

na i didnt i dont even know what quality they are lol

[martinmac]

How is the focus better than the astra? The astra is immense! Quicker than the Focus too ;)! Love them in red! My mate had a Nurburgring, stage 2, had a Diff fitted and an ARB and that sorted the major torque steer issue and made it handle much better!

And as mentioned REMUS is a must!

[haz_pro]

Very nice, no way would i have got a focus ST over this :P

exactly my point vxr is much better than ST

but you alway get one tho

[JRC1]

Very nice mate. I'd always choose one of these over the ST. Every other car is an ST these days, wayyy to common!

[haz_pro]

I dont even like vauxhalls tbh, but this looks very nice, inside and out. Also as said you rarely see them, i dont even think i have ever seen a red one, savage!

[rey]

It's all opinion and personal preference at the end of the day...

I will feel sorry for you when you go too fast round a corner and understeer and crash!! Saxo wouldnt understeer as bad as that. Look half decent but whats the point in all that power if it cant go around a corner. End of the day it is american and roads are straight over there, corners dont exist:P

Dumb thing to say really
It will only do that if you are slamming it round at high speed and why would you be stupid enough to do that

They do have a lot of power but Vauxhall wouldnt sell them if you couldnt go round a corner???

Would rather have a VXR over a rattly French Saxo :)

You ever been to NYC as an example, plenty of corners
They do have long roads in America but cities have lots of corners

[Pixie]

I love it :y:

They have such a hard ride though :err:

[_-john-_]

Never understood this. Fords are very well built, have a friend who's had his st170 for eons now and it's NEVER missed a beat, my uncle has a modeo, NEVER missed a beat.

every ford i have has fallen apart more than the saxo they have cheap parts for a reason because they brake easy thats my opionon anyway

as said by devil do you really trash it around corners or accelarate through them or do you go fast down the stright then brake for the corner then accelarate out of the corner understeer dont exist in everday driving stop watching top gear

Vauxhall American?

So that makes Citroen German ja?

[RossRog]

i was thinking the same, i'd have a VXR over anything french/ford however i am bias to vaux..

[martinmac]

People are basing their opinions of this car based on top gears opinion, rather than their own experience, yes it understeers , so do most if not all front wheel drive cars. Get over yourselves, jealousy is a terrible thing. The astra vxr is an epic car, and is ridiculously fun to drive.

[Lewis]

Tidy car but at the end of the day its just a boring astra

[NFS]

boring to who someone with no legs or arms trust its not boring. jelously and all

[LSOfreak]

its a sexy looking car in that colour especially. some white wheels will look spot on imo. for some reason ive always preffered the corsa vxr's though?
how much that set you back mate?

[NFS]

12k mate. i find the corsa is a kids car and i need a adults car really thats y i went with the astra

[LSOfreak]

depends what after i suppose. some prefer big cars, some small :)

[NickJ]

Good choice mate, I've got the 150bhp Sport Hatch, it feels so much more solid than the Saxo did, you won't be disappointed

[Pod]

i like it it, but i would go for the st over vxr! or a mk1 focus rs :)

[Hatcha]

exactly my point vxr is much better than ST

i lol'd.

Erm general motors owns vauxhall and ill think you will find GM is american

Cool beans...

[sn3ddon]

very nice in red

[dankzy]

loves these, love all vauxhalls with vxr at the end of their name :) especially corsa arctic's, i would want corsa vxr as looks just as good and cheaper, still very nice though, if only i had the money :(

[MiniGibbo]

Cool car :cool

Personally I'd take a corsa though!

[Proffitt]

The missus' brother has the Nurburgring adition, very very quick cars and the exhaust sounds awsome standard :y:

Nice buy.

[NFS]

thanks for all the comments i will post some proper pictures up once i have the keys. i get the feeling it wont have the same magic a cheap french car will have tho.

[shannon-ob]

My mate has one of these, been re-mapped too. Absolutely wild!
Nice buy :)

you drive a 1.1, you car is to slow to understeer so therefore sod off as you have no idea.. PENIS

Cause you cant afford the astra most probs

I was between this, or my Audi a3, but i choose VAG

My mate also had a Nurburgring adition and was quite heavyly tuned, and it blew 3rd gear basically every month :zainy:

[RustySkull]

Hmm very nice :)

[timmythechef]

I would imagine so, but daddy bought him a nice green RS for when his astra's bardy, so he never blinked an eyelid

[holdawayt]

Just to clear things up, Vauxhall is a British company.

General motors headquarters is based in Luton.

Thats funny because what my e36 has cost me i could of bought a e39 m5 or a e46 m3..

Let alone my 18k van

Must be good for you living at home with mummy and daddys finance :hug:

[NFS]

^^^ good point i think that guy is being a penis coz he cant understeer lol

expensive much lol?

Oh dear better go easy then i blow the diff in my 1.3 cdti astra and cost £1400 and thats 90bhp :flamed:

[martinmac]

The missus' brother has the Nurburgring adition, very very quick cars and the exhaust sounds awsome standard :y:

Nice buy.:clapping:

That's the remus mate, only comes standard on the Burg edition, costs about 1200 quid otherwise but seriously sounds amazing

[b0t13]

remap is a must as well, the 300bhp tuned ones fly! but drink petrol badly lol

[NFS]

remap is a must as well, the 300bhp tuned ones fly! but drink petrol badly lol

yeah i wont be doin that much tuning to start with im thinking stage 2 remap, full decat exhaust, panel filter and a oil restrictor bolt then that will give me 285bhp which is more than enough tbh

I knew that, just that cool bean tried to be the corrector!

[UKtom]

dont know why people are ripping you about understeer mate, pretty sure i'd prefer to be driving your astra to anyones saxo on here :) nice car!

[TypeRDavid]

Depends what saxos your reffering to mate as im sure there are some on here that will eat VXR'S, Focus RS's etc round the twisties

In all honesty i would say my old VTS was more fun to drive on some roads than My EP3 and down country lanes there wouldnt be a huge difference in which was quicker.

The VXR to me is a nice looking car and quick in a straight line but with some trying to say it would eat the Focus ST are just talking out their arses !!

Watch!

may beat it in the corners but not in a straight line. tbh i would rather push a vauxhall than drive a ford:A:

Ahh right, never knew that and i don't think he does either. Cheers :y:

Nobody actually cares where GM is based or where it originated. Its still a British Manufacturer.

Chealsea is owned by a Russian but its still an English football club

Its a decent car and hope you enjoy it. I'd have one if I could afford the insurance
