vxr looks a bit meaner, but the turbo's are a bit weak on them I've read and most are driven by show-off teens who cannot drive...

destroyed only one in my LCR and I couldn't understand why the lad looked so bemused. :shrug:

fact: they are not faster. we have DSG. and also corsa its not a good car. it looks bad but its what t0m said. almost all vxr's are driven by show off teens.
it doesn't even have a differential.

I heard the Corsa VXR weighs 300kg more than a cupra. And apparently there injectors only last around 10,000 miles. And everyone one of them that I have seen has been driven completely irresponibly and down right dangerously. They also depreciate very quickly!

Lots of vxr hate on here :lol:

Actually very little difference between the cars, standard or stage 1.

The corsa will take more power than a cupra though. I prefer the Ibiza looks but the vxr interior

On Paper the Vxr is infact slightly quicker, however on the streets its a different stroy, due to the dsg gearbox found in the cupra,

I find the cupra to be more mature than the VXR, and a little more suttle,

And after taking into consideration how fast the vxr's depreciate, and how much more they cost to run it really is a no brainer in my opinion.

Which is why I went for the cupra, among other reasons such as how rare the cupra's are in comparison

but being only 19 myself I can't really agree with LefKon haha, :)

I think the cupras are faster than stated as standard by like half a second or so and ive seen standard cupras beating standard vxrs.I raced one in my standard fr and i was all over the back of it just couldnt pass it.sjows the difference dsg makes. If it was prolonged after 80mph though he would have been away.luckily a big roundabout came up with two lanes off so i got my power down sooner and we were neck and neck coming out.
