Vauxhall Corsa VXR (2007 - 2014) 1.6T 16v VXR 3d (2009/09) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I have no idea. Probably the fact I'm young and have worked hard for a move car. I was 19 when I bought it in June 2011.

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

They all like it. I get compliments off random people, usually about the colour and look. A lot of people compliment it, neighbours think its very nice.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Definitely.

What are you likely to buy next?

Keep this one if I can and buy an Astra VXR or wait a while for the next corsa vxr to come out.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£11,600

When did you buy the car?

June 2011

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yeah I did. It was originally going for £12,800. Got it down to £11,600 + 6 months tax + 3 months extended warranty on top of 9 months.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Always wanted a vxr corsa. Fell in love with it the day I saw one.

What was the dealer like?

Very good.

What's it like to drive?

Absolutely amazing. So quick and handles so well. Only problem is the sport suspension is very hard, I love everything about it but if you're looking for comfort don't buy a hot hatch.

What's it like to park?

I don't like parking it in rough areas, on the street or in car parks in case some jealous person damages it.

Have you had any problems with the car?

The common fault with the radiator which was leaking coolant, but warranty covered it.

What's most practical about your car?

Depends how you drive it. Very responsive, so the heavier the right foot, the more fuel you use.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

All of it. I like the cruise control for long journeys and the hill-start assist.
