Yeah people buying a vxr may not he bothered too much but its a 1.6tOriginally Posted by IanJ
Comparitively my S1 is a 2.0t with 230 bhp and is in the tax band below. £180 a year..... Which incidentally was the same tax as my astra 1.9cdti before it.....
That said it looks good from front, and interested to hear reviews on its handling with this new 'stuff' lol
2008 - 2011 CORSA VXR - ARDEN BLUE - 18"
2011 - 2014 Astra SRI CDTI [150] XP + 18"
2014 -------- Audi S1, Glacier White + Quattro Exterior + other stuff
as with every old lady, you warm her up before letting her have it
That blue is stunning!
Love it!
Some nice parts but that engine needed changing.
The competition is way ahead in terms of economy even though they offer the same performance. Big brakes and suspension sound good though
And a fiesta st is £130 to tax, golf is a 2.0 300 bhp monster and its cheaper to tax than a far smaller corsa vxr. This is my point. People don't like paying vehicle tax, therefore for me some people may like the corsa but then say nah forget it £95 a year tax saving with fiesta, more mpg (on paper) (extra 30 miles a tank?), etc.
I admit some people don't give a monkeys what the tax is (me included I pay it with gritted teeth) I buy what car I want, but these cars are suppose to appeal to 20 - 30's imho. Yes we will see older people driving it etc I know, but in this day and age cost of living is going up and up, 20 - 30 year olds want a house etc but they also don't want to be driving 1.2 corsa all there life.
Corsa 1.6t - stage 1 with TMS and pre cat pipe, Regal astra sports clutch kit, EBC Turbo groove discs and yellow stuff pads - now gone
New car - Astra 2.0 CDTI Sri with VX-Line kit, sat nav, 19 inch alloys, tinted windows
Yep in line with comment above. The golf r is same engine as mine but bigger turbo n little other stuff, but both £180 tax a year....

I don't like putting a downer on the car - but vauxhall need to be competitive - I want them to succeed - and I just feel this corsa hasn't moved on from the preious one. I'm sure the handling will be better, the two special editions made the car a far better drive, but I can't see this car being cheaper than Fiesta st its biggest rival.

Looks nice and like the performance pack idea... But 6.8 0-60 and 143 is not faster than the outgoing model.. Pretty sure my burg said 6.5s and the 192ps corsa was 6.8 0-60 and with lower down torque it makes me wonder what the extra 13ps is actually doing?
Real shame about the engine... Handling sounds good though
No VXRAbarth and a 330e
Remember there are 3 stages of FST aswell
Some sell more than others
ST1 £17250
ST2 £18250
ST3 £19250
True, same car different options as standard. A fully specced one was ~£21k when I was looking. Can be got for ~£17k.
What's the price of the corsa then? Rrp and after expected discounts?
I think the moutune deal is also appealing though, something a lot of other manufacturers are missing out on in the UK. Vx included
