try bell for cheap insurance. i'd go for the corsa imo.

and fuel isnt too bad when your careful

average mpg corsa vxr is about 26-30ish normal driving thrashing will be alot lower, but if your drive like and old granny will obviosualy be alot higher then 30 mate, and insrurance will prob be 1000-1500 i shud imagine, i think the corsas are much better looking but all down to what you want fella

i fort it be about 4-5k its not that bad 1500 then :\ i like the blue colour aswell andys is gawjus :) would the astra VXR be silly insurance + petrol for 20year old ?

The petrols no too bad depending how u drive it was gettin 31.3mpg and thats mostly town drivin

ohh thats not that bad cause the guy at VX told me the sxi dose 38mpg so i can handle 7mpg difference haha is it shocking on fule when u floor it ?

[CR57OFR]

shouldnt be to much 19 for insurance is 2800 for me 1000 for 1.2 with my mods

[Ben_vxracing]

lowest vxr ive herd of was 18mpg hahaha but that was thrashin it, and it was heavily modded

[Sarah-vxr]

ohh thats not that bad cause the guy at VX told me the sxi dose 38mpg so i can handle 7mpg difference haha is it shocking on fule when u floor it ?

av no been 2 bad tbh even when its been floored n that, thot the car was gonna b a lot worse on the petrol than it is

I just got a quote on a 2008 Astra VXR for a laugh. It was £1.600. Based on that, I don't think you'll do too badly mate.

goin look at a corsa next weekend just enquire about it :) get a testdrive :P probs get 1 around june time dunno should i get a new 1 or oldish 08 07 plate im not fussed about age of car realy just want one so bad :(

[lukeneale]

My brother has a Astra vxr and it is a beast standard, my remaped sri keeps up with it for so far then my poor little engine runs out of puff lol, but the astra vxr was to good on petrol...

[Mike]

Astra vxr without a doubt

[DannySXI]

corsa they loook better .. astras are gash inside

[TJ]

Had both prefer the corsa over the astra everytime

[lukeneale]

the astra vxr recaros just dont look any where near as good as the corsa, and tbh, there wont be much differnt in performance up untill 110 mph, but thats notthing tbh

07 plate corsas are coming on the market now - as people have had them for three years - some have stupidly low mileage - eg tj's - if you can find a low mileage one then age diesn't really matter - plus a 07 plate will be out of warranty - so a good excuse to get a new exhaust etc.

Then if the missus moans you've spent x amount on a exhaust just say they need a new one every three years!

Well im 21 with 4 yr no claims and my insurance on my vxr is 850 with my mum and dad on the policy as named drivers! When i first got it when i was 19 insurance was 2100 :-(.... It was still worth it though! lol. Oh yeah the policy is with Bell! Petrol isnt that bad really... however front tyres dont last long... even if the car is babied like mine! And theyre not cheap either!

[gazza5]

Good point about the tyres - mine are £130 per corner - had a flat the other week. Petrol - I get about 30.5 mpg out of my sri - but thats mainly town driving - shouldn't think vxr will be much different. If ins is a massive problem - try the sri - mine is £380 with 2 years no claims with elephant - altho its probably cheap because I'm over 25. But I'm tight and don't see the point in paying loads for ins!

im with bell and mines 2k. astra is quicker. but more expensive and higher to insure. plu astra are more common atm as they have been about longer.
