New car has arrived

[boffey]

Been toying with the idea of selling the 200 for a couple of months, a at the end of last month ordered a new corsa vxr in green with performance pack though work and today it turned up. Still waiting for ktec to come and collect mine and for the corsa to be checked and the finance to pay out for it. But hopefully will be in it at the end of next week. Anyway a few pictures a took when it got off the transporter.

Nothing better than the new car feeling. Although I must admit I'm not a fan of the car.

#downgrade :smiley:

But as long as you are happy OP.

I do quite like these - I hate the rear lights though - look like they're trying to escape the car!

 

[JamesBryan]

Will have to meet up when you finally get it mate.

 

[boffey]

I know it won't be to everyone's taste and I agree about the rear lights I'm not really a fan. Hopefully be getting it by next Friday hopefully.

Not noticed the lights before.... wtf?!
Are they for skateboarders/ cyclists to hold onto to hitch a ride? [emoji4]

Looks great in green. I like.
I do tend to like Vauxhalls though.

Look forward to your verdict on the car [emoji106]

After seeing one in the flesh I must say I approve! Maybe not the colour I would've chosen but it looks lovely nonetheless

 

[Gus]

Nice car, certainly a nice colour when the sun is out. Smiley face on it too !

Dont like the rudeboy spoiler though.

Quite like these, did you get the performance pack?

Yeah got the performance pack and carbon pack. It's not as hard over bumps as the 200 and the diff feels awesome from the little drive I had.

 

[Lal B3N]

Looks lovely! Right up my chavvy Street.

 

[brisa4984]

i like it. very capable car out of the box

 

[Gally]

It'll be capable but looks wise that car has gone so backwards.

The Astra VXR weirdly is a great looking hot hatch.

 

[brisa4984]

yeh it looks less great tbh.

pre golf r, the astra vxr was the best looking imo. much better looking than the megane

 

[Welsh.Dan]

Yeah. Like the gtc astra vxr. Nice looking car!

I liked my nurburgring edition astra. Almost bought a newer vxr but got an s3 instead.

 

[CrippsCorner]

Best colour! But like others say, the Astra wins it for me.

 

[boffey]

Done 500 miles in it now and have to say. Even though everyone complains about the performance pack I find it alot smoother over bumps then the Clio so that's a positive. Really liking the turbo and having a dab radio and not having to climb over the side of the seat in case it starts to rip. So sofar I'm liking it and it seem like the right decision. Oh and the diff is awesome.

 

[JamesBryan]

We need to meet up soon. You missed karting today.

I really like them, apart from maybe the rear, the inset boot looks a little strange. But what a package! Is the MPG as bad as the tax band suggests?

 

[Le Baguette]

Congratulations!
Do these use the same engine as the "previous" gen VXR/OPC?
Also, did you consider any other cars?

 

[Jordi17]

Nice VXR. bet it feels a fair bit quicker than the 200, mine certainly did

I know was in work. I'm free next weekend though.

Getting 32mpg at the minute which is an improvement from the 26 mpg I was getting in the Clio.

Congratulations!

Yeah its the same engine bit with different intake and injectors. Considered a st fiesta and a couple year old megane. But working at Vauxhall it make sense to buy one so its easy when it breaks.

 

[gambit]

Never heard of the car before, color looks good should polish up very nice in the sun.

 

[RDH]

Still enjoying it mate? I was just pulling off the multistory in blackpool on sunday as you were pulling on. Looked really good in the flesh, much better than it comes off in pictures. Certainly a mich better looking car than the old one, which I hate with a passion.

Yeah it's still really good. You still have the St? Yeah it is much nicer then the one old I wasnt a fan of them.
