Looks like it hasn't got a onboard computer either.

does that not bug you? it would bug me not being able to see the water temp, and in something like that i would like oil temp and pressure also

no need for any of those gauges on a new road car.

PMSL why the FUCK would you need of those gauges in a Corsa

robbo do you ever check your oil temp ijn the golf

TBH it's pushing nearly as much power from it's 1.6 t/c engine as your 2.0 t/c engine

I don't see why people are totally writing it off as being near the best in it's class when they haven't even seen it road tested or *shock horror* driven it

the more i look at this the more i fall in love with it, REALLY want one now! lol.. i may go have a nosey when they're released but will prob wait a year or two for 2nd hand prices to drop and see what the score is cuz i'd be fleecing myself having a brand spanking 16k car lol.

performance specs are quite impressive for a new heavy car, but me really likes that definitely

"It's responsive and agile, playfully letting its tail drift slightly in corners, yet remains stable and secure on the road. Even on the optional 18-inch wheels it rides comfortably enough to soak up the bumps that might unsettle a car with harder suspension. In dry conditions at least, the front tyres find plenty of grip (a nice surprise given how easily the Astra VXR spins its wheels). The blue-painted brakes do an effective job of slowing it all down. Vauxhall spent months fine-tuning the handling of the Corsa at Germany's famous Nurburgring track, getting handling experts Lotus involved in the development too. As a result, this VXR drives well."

+ :Looks good, goes well, has great
-: seats Too 'boy racer' for some

Arguably the Corsa VXR's best features are its front seats. These shell-backed buckets seats look fantastic, provide excellent support and are costly options on those rivals that offer them.
