- 2012 Vauxhall Corsa VXR Review.
Welcome back to Pitt Motoring TV, Your weekly Pitt Stop for all things cars.
In this video I have been having some fun with a 2012 Vauxhall Corsa VXR, a fun hot hatch which is definitely worth considering.
The question is Should you buy a Corsa VXR? With so many fantastic hot hatches available should you also consider the Corsa VXR along with the likes of the Fiesta ST, the Clio RS and Fabia VRS?
Hope you enjoy the video, if you enjoy don't forget to like the video and subscribe to the channel.
This 2012 Corsa VXR is currently for sale with the guys at The Forge Car Sales, here is the link to their website for more details on the car.

Hey everyone, I hope you enjoy the video. Don't forget to check out other videos on the Channel and to like and subscribe 👍🏻.
Love these sort of little cars .... but with so many others to choose from it’s hard to pick this one , great vid, those sort of content is great 👍🏻 keep it up
A few of the others I'd say are better too, the fiesta st for me handles better and same with the clio rs. Ah thanks matey, will try and keep it up 👍🏻.
Loved the video man, lovely red VXR :)
Mine is a 14 plate Arden blue with the black alloys.
Completely stock and I bloody love it 😊
Thanks dude 😊, arden blue is probably the best colour. Even standard they are tons of fun to drive. Thanks for watching and commenting mate.
Nice video. Thanks for sharing A beautiful red Pocket Rocket - Cheers man
Thanks dude and thanks for watching, they really are a pocket rocket aren't they. Drove a stage 1 corsa vxr a couple of years back and that was a lot of fun.
Love a good Corsa D Facelift.
almost the last gen of the VXR lineup.
Great video:D
Thanks David
had mine for just over 2 years, cant go wrong with it, better looking than the other 2 I think as well, and cheaper. So much car for your money, just need to keep an eye out for a gearbox whine and piston 4 going but as long as you warm the car up before booting it a little and yearly servicing, should be fine.
I have to agree with you it does look better than them, I really like the styling. I think that's best to do with any car really isn't it, to let it warm up properly first. I found cruising the fuel economy was pretty good. Thanks for your comment and hope you enjoyed the video.
Is there a way to avoid piston 4 but also remapping it?
@@nivzxlo8241 you can forge the engine which would pretty much make the engine bullet proof up to about 450bhp if you want, thats the only way to really make sure. Other than that, just ensure you let the car warm up before giving it the beans and have a yearly full service, that's what I do! As forging the engine is about £2500-£3000!
@@SouthRevolution i would assume this is the same for the corsa vxr too? (I have both lol)
@@nivzxlo8241 I have the corsa vxr, not the st, I was talking about the vxr lol
Had my vxr for 2half years, 1owner car when I got it with 40k on. Never had a problem with engine but my exhaust manifold as just got a hole in it but getting one 99pound off eBay. Just get a good one like me and there good car for the paper. Full services history and now on 69k
Sounds good mate, service history is key with these sorts of cars, if they're looked after they should be more reliable. Had a few experiences with ebay parts some fine some are miles off fitment wise unless is a 2nd hand piece you've got.
Owner of a corsa d vxr-r never had issues with reliability, low mileage and in good condition I’m the second owner. I’ll recommend a vxr just longs it’s got service history, with the correct condition. Best to do a compression test, they’re good cars just not keeping up with my other cars on a B road or on track. Good content mate
Absolutely, like with any car a good service history is essential. They are fun to drive i will give them that and I prefer the styling over the fiesta and the clio. What other cars have you got that it doesn't keep up? Thanks matey hopefully have more content like this to come as the channel is still relatively new.
@@pittmotoring Yes that’s 100% true. Yes they are fun to drive, me personally I think clio 197/200 are nicer than the corsa vxrs, I own a clio rs200 cup in alien green it’ll leave my corsa vxr-r on a B road due to handling and weight. I own seat Leon cupra r mk1, fiesta st150 which is supercharged which was running 300bhp stock internals, civic ep3 type r turbo’d 500bhp, ek4 with k20a2 swap which is supercharged running 500bhp, civic type r ek9 still n/a it’ll spank my vxr-r easily as it’s always about power to weight ratio in my opinion. Honestly no problem, ohh sweet I’ll give you a new subscriber to help you out
@@boostedchris6120 nice one thanks mate. Sounds like you have an amazing line up of cars there matey. An old friend of mine had a ep civic type r supercharged and set up by tdi North, rolling roaded at 415bhp at the wheels, thing was an animal so I can imagine what the turbo'd once are like.
@@pittmotoring No problem mate, thank you very much mate that’s only some of my personal cars in my collection I do own a few classics aswell. Ohh really nice, I have heard good and bad things about tdi north but I do my own builds with my own custom software for cars. That’s a good power output in my opinion it’s enough for a daily. Once they’re turbo’d it’s a while different experience, they’re nippy once they get the power put down. I do have another few builds coming soon but it’s for my personal collection haha.
@@boostedchris6120 sounds good buddy, may be a future feature on the Channel by the sounds of some of your builds mate 👍🏻
Nice video mate had my Corsa over 3 years great little car
Thanks mate, hopefully have plenty more videos to come as time goes on and the covid restrictions start to get lifted.
Just wait till piston 4 goes 🤣
@@xopp-_-hxtedx140 haha not a problem for me I’ve had my engine fully forged currently running 310 bhp so safe to say the engine is strong 😂
Still won’t beat my Clio 182 Turbo 😉
@@xopp-_-hxtedx140 deffo agree there those clios are fast without turbos let alone with one and handle like they are on rails sounds like a cool car 👍🏻👍🏻
Great video
Thank you 🙏
#pitt Motoring tv Currently own 2 corsa vxrs . Vxr arden blue 192bhp as standard and a chilli orange nurburg 211 bhp as standard . Chilli running 238 at min , arden running I'd guess 260 . Both great cars . Nice video by the way
They are tons of fun, sounds like both of yours are quick machines. Have you had any trouble with the Arden blue one? Running 260. Thanks mate, got plenty more to come, hopefully more like this too.
@@pittmotoring not since buying it in Nov, I know it had new pistons and cam belt etc just before we bought it . But other than that it's been a good reliable car
fab little motors, had mine for a few months now and not stopped smiling since 👍🏻
not too keen on some of the colour schemes though, but each to their own, too much flame red in that little 'fisher-price' inspired interior
The flashes of red inside are maybe not to everyone's taste. Sure does drive nice though, definitely fun to drive aren't they.
The previous owner would have painted the interior red bits usually the vents are a stainless steel sort of colour and the seat bits just match the black seats
@@hoffmanlol yeah definitely not a standard feature, depending on the colour they're repainted sometimes they do look nice, this wasn't my taste mind but each to their own I suppose. I'd probably leave them as they were if it was me.
I wouldn't worry about the gremlins because they are known about fauts which means most garages will be able to get parts and fix it very easily. Yes it costs money but compared to other higher end hot hatch's they fairly cheap.
is there issues with pistons
Great video mate! I've never driven one of these Corsa models and I wonder how they compare to the newer ones.
I've driven a few of the corsa vxr's and they are fun cars, I've also driven a 1.3cdti corsa d. Nice to drive but obviously the VXR is a completely different beast. I've not driven one of the new ones so in the same boat not sure how they compare.
@@pittmotoring Fair play mate! Maybe get in touch with a Vauxhall dealer and see if you can test one out? 😎
@@SamWorthReviewing on the cards matey, just building the channel so hopefully sometime soon.
In my opinion you should try driving a VXR
Cheers man
@@tugadashcamsuk5946 I've driven a couple of corsa VXR now, the one in this video and one a couple of years back. Love the look of them and they are fun to drive.
I don't understand the cars for " first time drivers thing, my favorite ever car was 106 1.1 Mardi Gras. Id happily drive one around now.
sorry don't understand the relevance to the corsa vxr or are you thinking of a different video of ideal First cars I did previously on the Channel?
How it drives? It keeps you on your toes like, constantly? Even though I'd love to spin around a track a happy tail car, in daily conditions, it can be proved pretty dangerous.
Apologies for a late reply, must have missed your comment. I agree, you have to be focused if pushing it a bit. I can imagine on a track it would be a great toy. Like with any car you have to be cautious on the road.
Thanks for watching and your comment, hope you are well
@@pittmotoring thnx for the answer, drive safe!
I hate when people put burg stickers on this VXR when it isn’t a Nurburgring version😩
I personally don't get that either but each to their own i suppose.
People put silly maps on them then wonder why they go bang 🤔
yeah, only problem, they need to make them safe first even though I thought for the performance there would have been a more solid platform for more power without worrying about them going bang after a bit of fettling.
6.8 seconds 0-60 not 7.6. And the standard alloys are 17s the option was the 18s. Nice car but too unreliable, I’d rather have a 208 gti.
Thanks for clearing that up mate. I have heard stories of reliability but others that have commented who own them have mentioned they aren't as bad as made out to be. Thanks for watching mate.
I wanna buy corsa vxr I hope you bro thanks
Thanks for watching, good luck in your search for a corsa vxr.
@@pittmotoring i can’t find the good corsa can you help me please
I'd just recommend checking the main car search websites such as auto trader for what your looking for in your budget. Look into mileage and service history but also check the classifieds in the owners clubs too.
also have a look at the Insignia VXR: ua-cam.com/video/s1zo-64AYTo/v-deo.html
No boost gauge 👎
Fiesta st better car in everyway
only driven the older mk6 Fiesta st, not had the pleasure of driving a mk7 yet. Compared to the mk6 power wise its better than the ST but doesn't handle as well.
It's about the individual
