    Astra GSI, Astra VXR, New Focus ST, Civic Type R

    If you had about 16k to spend which of the above would you go for and why?

    Ive booked my test drive in the ST but have been warned that they are quite slow.

    Im veering towards the VXR on looks and performance.


    Punto going under lock and key soon .... lol

    still cheaper than i thought.

    vauxhalls are rubbish, even JC said the astra VXR wasn't as good as the ST.

    if you get an ST, get it in orange. only colour worth having.

    Autoexpress just gone rollered a VXR on different fuels to test super unleadeds on the market.

    Most it made was 220hp. Lowest was 210hp.

    Its FWD and made by Vauxhall, so its going to spin its front wheels a lot and have crap build quality.

    Get the ST.

    Deffo in my top 2, me and Glen were discussing it earlier and he thinks the VXR would be better.
