The Astra has improved a lot by the looks of it, the last VXR was indeed Chav-tastic as coined by Richwig
Not keen on the Focus, prefer the older one.
Lets not forget Mercedes offering as well, I think Mercedes needs this Hatch to work because most of their cars are a bit 'Grandad' imo.
The warranty and finance options do make the VXR a decent proposition.
The performance hot hatch market is getting very crowded. Does anyone think VW might be undone with pricing on the next generation or is the following still too strong?
