I commute daily in a VXR Nurburgring and can honestly say that on the A roads it's a pleasure to drive and will sit at 60mph without you feeling like it's trying to pull constantly but has that incredible power to safely blast past any HGV that you catch up to (where safe to do so). B roads it will stick to those corners like glue and of course you'll feel every pot hole you hit but that's the same for any car with low profile tyres and race suspsension. If you want comfort buy a BMW, if you want a car that's gives you that buzz every time you sit in the drivers seat then get a VXR. I do a rural commute every day and find it a comfortable yet exciting fun drive every time I'm in it.
Hi james sorry for my bad english I drive a corsa vxr too but a (e vxr ) and i must say that suspension is for the streets realy terrible But when u drive on a good paved road then is the car amazing
@@Lord_Stig i own a 2013 corsa vxr and the ride isn't even that bad, i've lowered mine slightly so it's a little harsher than standard, but overall, great little car.
I love my Corsa OPC with all 'burg' mods (stage 2), and seeing no-one else drives it, as we have a 'real car' with lovely a marshmallow ride, I don't care about my harsh suspension! I do enjoy James' work though!
People in the „real world“ just buy a normal car. This is a extreme car for enthusiasts. And the last argument is made for comedic reasons, that’s all…
Actually it’s a corsa e which is the performance pack optional extra as it’s stiff suspension, supposedly bigger brake callipers etc which ain’t the best for daily driving
Mr bloody negative. James May. We the UK have the worst roads in Europe.Pot holes everywhere and thousands of miles of roads need resurfacing.Even cars with standard suspension are pretty unrefined at coping with this problem.
@@yiesyies365 why not? It’s achievable. A Bugatti La Voiture Noire might be a „cooler“ dream car, but I’m pretty sure that i met between 0-2 people in my whole life who might ever be able to fulfill the dream of buying that one…
@@erebostd Well Said! My dream is a Murcielago but given the price which is super high, and the fact that each panel costs like £20K if damaged and that it has no storage and about 2mpg I know it’s the most impractical car ever. I own a 2014 VXR and it’s my first (sports) car. My achievable goal hopefully one day is a first generation Audi R8. That’d be nice :)

Love this! I just bought one yesterday, my insurance starts next week and I’m super excited to start using it!
you dont buy a corsa vxr for it to be comfortable so that last part of the video is completely irrelevant
True but Im looking for one to have as a daily so somewhat good to know 😅
But will just buy the normal Opc and be happy 😄

@@SouthRevolution Happy to hear that mate! Feel I need a change from big bulky cars and as a opel fan this feels like a perfect choice 😀

They are great on a back road
I love mine on the back roads ive got the corsa e vxr
I’ve heard it’s best to not buy the sports package or whatever it’s called
Actually it’s a corsa e which is the performance pack optional extra as it’s stiff suspension, supposedly bigger brake callipers etc which ain’t the best for daily driving
Its a £3000 option. Bembo breaks, uprated diff,and suspension. But vast improvement .But ride is compromised by our shocking roads and pot holes.
Beautiful but want a Vauxhall Corsa VXR because it's a car from Vauxhall.

Doesn't change the fact that the car is shitty.
My uncle has one built up as a track car and its rapid and one of my dream cars
Dream cars a corsa 🤨🤨
