Vauxhall Corsa VXR (2007 - 2014) 1.6T 16v VXR 3d (2007/57) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Middle age boy racer i suppose.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Like it i think.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes, really like the look and feel of it.

What are you likely to buy next?

Not sure yet.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£0

When did you buy the car?

January 2013

Did you get a good deal and why?

Not bad, to be honest the car was over priced for its age, but it does have quite a few extras. Full recaro leather interior, adaptive lighting, larger alloys etc. Also has very low mileage which helps.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Liked the look of it. Also, power running costs etc.

What was the dealer like?

Friendly, helpful.

What's it like to drive?

Great to drive. Its not lightning quick, the other vehicle i use to compare it to is a volvo C30 T5. The T5 is much quicker in a straight line (although the 0-60 MPH times are almost identical) but the VXR is way better in bends. It does give you a lot of fun though.

What's it like to park?

Easy.

Have you had any problems with the car?

I have had new discs and pads on the front. It didn't need doing immediately, but would have in the near future. The stability control light has stayed on a couple of times, i am monitoring this.

What's most practical about your car?

Decent fuel consumption so far.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

It has to be the recaro leather seats, they really set the car off and are very comfortable in a firm way.
