Dont brake to hard in the new ST, your brakes will catch fire!!

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

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

i did that to a set of ebc pads    on track of course 

[zerolag]

Yikes!

[tony_danza]

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

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

[ArildStavrum]

In my opinion the wheels on the VXR are horrific.

Not really a fan of any of the three, they dont do much for me, I will stick to the Cupra

...but it's still a Vauxhall

I did that after 8 laps of Oulton park in my old mk4 ibiza running AP 4 pots with DS2500 pads

But the might of VAG cant compete with it 

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???

[Janner_Sy]

If it had a VAG badge???

Then it would be the best VAG ever 

Im quite the opposite of a badge snob.  I drive a Skoda 

[tony_danza]

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.
