We you all still talk to me if . . . . .

Vxr would leave most vws on the road...fast cars...the badge has a poor rep over the years but seem to be getting their act together now

what is this jibber jabber you have typed?

From a standing start (on a private track) I kept up with an astra vxr. I have a DSG and his was a manual. I didn't beat it as such but neither did the VXR "leave me on the road"

They are quick cars but so are the modern GTi's.

I have not had a vxr beat me as yet... in fact the last one i went passed i even managed to find time to wave and see the passenger laughing at his mate driving

VXRs can be quite . . . interesting when it comes to actually moving the steering wheel around a bend.

tbh he was probly laughing at your overpriced overweight golf 


couple of facts;

an astra vxr is more powerful than a new gti and is lighter, also better looking.


as for the new R the focus rs is quicker, lighter and better looking.


all in all the new golfs are over priced and boring.

please dont confuse these facts with me defending vxr's as i own one or that im jeaolous of the new golfs as this is not the case, I am mearly stating motoring facts that MANY snobs(particularly on this site) overlook and it annoys me

^^^^^^



Everything you just said there is wrong.

As I said earlier in the thread I quite like the VXRs but them along with the quite frankly shocking body kit on the RS all have 0 class. You can keep your torque and under steer thanks. Ill take the Golf all day long.

[Jack3559]

VXRs and Focus RSs just look cheap and tacky in my opinion.

Although I see where you're coming about newer golfs looking boring. I think all new cars are boring looking compared to their older counterparts.

Each to their own though.

Nothing do with snobbery. I have owned the cars mentioned?? Have you??

The R32 would murder a VXR around a track. The only chance a VXR would have is on a straight... usually straight into a hedge.

My GTI has had many VXR's nailed. None more so when it comes round abouts... you can physically see then bouncing about like a hooker on a pogo stick.

As for your FACTS... the golf maybe over priced but they hold their value better and out sell the Vauxhalls by a considerable margin.

Once a cheapskate always a cheapskate... If you want to look stupid in your vauxhall, take a break from it when you are on the net. as you were fella

Feaces RS 1:29.3

Fact VXR can not put it's power down.
