Check out the Focus starting a fire at 3:17 after setting its laptime  :scared: :scared:



And the Astra VXR was a second quicker then the Megane RS265 around Angelsey  :surprised:

What sort of clown would put tiny brakes like that on a hot hatch?

VXR looks pretty special, they're finally getting it right...
Sideways yo!

In my opinion the wheels on the VXR are horrific.

But the might of VAG cant compete with it  :wink:

In fairness, nothing has managed to beat the RenaultSport Megane to date so fair play to the VXR for that.  They've taken all the criticism of the last one and fixed them all.

Yawn. It'd kick your car's arse.

A million other users on VXR forums are probably just as snobby about Golfs, that's why we rely on independent reviews such as this. If it had a VAG badge???

Yup, I've had pretty much one of everything!

A good car is a good car, regardless of badge. Just buying one marque is like eating pizza for the rest of your life, you may have a slightly different topping every now and again, but it's still pizza.
Sideways yo!
