@@PaulRankinYT im well impressed by the car i bought it for daily driving didnt expect amazing economy but its better on fuel than my old astra coupe was got an astra vxr arctic and corsa vxr clubsport too theyre summer toys tho so fuel economy doesnt matter lmao
great video man keep it up, very honest and informative about the car, love it. ive heard great things about how the car feels on the road.. what is the sound quality on the speakers like also ? thanks
+JustMatty thanks buddy your kind words mean a lot, sound quality on speakers is great however when playing music from Bluetooth you have to have the sound quite high to get any really benefit
Its a very nice car.sat in one and thought yes nice! But with all the upgrades this car is nearly £24.000 So decided to go for a 15 plate Astra VXR with a few thousand miles on the clock for 19 to 20 thousand
Congratulations on the car mate! Currently got a limited edition Corsa 2012 facelift and wanting this as an upgrade but the 07-08 model! Just waiting another year as I'm only 19. Great video too:)
+Ghulam Afzal hey buddy thanks for watching, a friend of mine has the 07 VXR and he loves it, I hope you get a nice example of an 07-08 model. Would you not consider a 2012 model I had an Arden blue one with loads of extras, worst thing I ever did was selling it
+OTB Tech +OTB Tech I would definitely consider it! Only thing is the cost for the car is double the 07-08 model as this is gonna be my first proper upgrade. Love the Arctic VXR edition as there's only 500 made. Guy on my street has the 2012 model in black. Brilliant car
+OTB Tech Wow the garage had the last model then haha! I've only had my limited edition since January so waiting a year then may possibly do a swap or part ex
Like the look of your new car. Thinking about one myself but I keep hearing rumours about them having a chocolate gearbox and needing work on them?? What do you think reliability wise?
Reliability I’ve never had an issue but I fully agree with that statement of a chocolate gearbox it’s the M6 gearbox Vauxhall love to use and it’s absolutely dreadful. The car itself is superb and you won’t find much better
Thank you Vauxhall/Opel for making my decision to get a brand new hot hatch so much easier. If this new one wasn't so damn ugly I may have got one over my Fiesta ST but I'm so glad I didn't
Oh for sure. I still love the older model, especially that gorgeous light blue colour they come in and I'm sure the new VXR is just as fun to drive as the older one too, just can't get on with the look from any angle now
+Matt Rosell I had a 2012 model in Arden Blue which I regret selling everyday but this new one is fully loaded and I was exactly the same when I first seen it. I just couldn't figure out why they did the front and back end the way they did and to top it off no real VXR styling they made it look like every other Corsa but with a black line by the bonnet
Well, I actually decided to go with Corsa instead of fiesta because I like the looks of corsa better. The rear of the 2015 model is in my opinion just much better than the previous one. Also the bonnet is slightly different shape than the standard model and looks much more agressive. And in person the car looks much better than on the video.
Do you think the suspension is too hard ? Im not sure if i should get the performance pack, but dam in want that LSD, but the roads in our country are so f**** up, my ds3 is sometimes too hard and im quite in a dilema.
+Jeronator999 it's quite firm on some roads and I've found the seats in mine being full leather are more firm than the half leather. If I had to tell someone wether or not to get it..... Id say yes 100% brembo's , LSD and Koni dampers worth its weight in gold but don't let me sway you I don't wanna disappoint anyone
+shaun simpson standard it is a bit raspy but yeah for what it is its quiet, mine has now got a decat and delete pipe which makes a world of difference. If you go to my last supercar video at Cars and Coffee I fitted the GoPro to the back of the car so you can hear the decat
+OTB Tech Well this surely calls for a comparison video. Although I already have the answer as it would seem do pretty much all the worlds motoring press.
+OTB Tech the press reviews go something like this: The Corsa has more tech feels better to drive sounds better and is faster... but the ST wins. I dont get it has Ford payed them or something it pisses me off
+Mark Berry I had negative equity from a previous car and I managed to squash a good portion of it to put me in a position to get the car I want at the beginning of next year. I also got rid of my previous VXR too early for the focus and I should of just stayed with it
If we all liked the same things the world would be boring but I’m just not a fan of the standard wheels the VXR comes with much prefer the upgraded 18’s
Going to get one tomorrow thanks for this video hasn’t put me off at all. Forget mpg, smiles per miles is what I’m after
SmilesPerGallon is the way forward until they send us all Electric
Keep the videos coming big guy very good
Thanks mate means a lot
Fuel economy has been brilliant for me, bought my 68 plate a couple months ago and im getting 350 miles to a full tank
Wow think the most I got was 290, I did love mine though such a good car
@@PaulRankinYT im well impressed by the car i bought it for daily driving didnt expect amazing economy but its better on fuel than my old astra coupe was
got an astra vxr arctic and corsa vxr clubsport too theyre summer toys tho so fuel economy doesnt matter lmao
Lmao some great cars mate, I was so close to getting a clubsport
@@PaulRankinYT i bought mine last year out of impulse lol, lowest miles example ive seen yet sub 10k miles on it, astroid grey
Astroid grey the best colour imo
Good insight into owning one. Good for someone wanting to purchase one.
Plenty more videos coming, you should do one on the ST
Great review. Thank you
Thank you for watching

Great vid. Any chance of posting a night drive to show the xenon headlamps. Thinking of ordering one of these. Appreciate it. Cheers.
Yeah I can do that in the next Vlog - no problems

+Warren Blanch yeah this was £22k fully spec'd I believe, I love the Astra VXR
+OTB Tech was looking at the new Honda type R too.But decided on the Astra VXR.Yeah it looks a mint car.Going for black ;)
+Warren Blanch best of luck with the new car
+OTB Tech Cheer's mate.Put a video up when I get it ;)
+Warren Blanch shall look forward to watching it mate
Should do more vids on this, great vid man

good review mate
My wife's on about getting one these. She's just test drove one but said it was to quite ( no exhaust sound). What's your thoughts ?

Nice video bro!
Thanks Dude
Paul Rankin np u deserve it!
I've watched the fiesta st review which did you prefer.
+shaun simpson that video is coming soon VXR vs ST
What camera did you record on?
+Timmy Turner for this video I believe it was the Sony RX100 M4
nice video love the car miles better than the Fiesta ST
+Tom Forrest thanks Tom
+OTB Tech Well this surely calls for a comparison video. Although I already have the answer as it would seem do pretty much all the worlds motoring press.
+Xiablo Kingmaker I have one planned with the ST, I'm planning mine out to be different from all those press videos
+OTB Tech the press reviews go something like this: The Corsa has more tech feels better to drive sounds better and is faster... but the ST wins. I dont get it has Ford payed them or something it pisses me off
+Tom Forrest I'll have my video done in the next few weeks and we will see how they shape up
As I said in another video of yours, it's a nice car, but the Focus was much better car
I'm not saying it's a bad car, just that I don't see why you swapped it for the Corsa
+Mark Berry I'd fully agree with you if the Focus had a different engine
+Mark Berry I had negative equity from a previous car and I managed to squash a good portion of it to put me in a position to get the car I want at the beginning of next year. I also got rid of my previous VXR too early for the focus and I should of just stayed with it
I have one of these and no way u get 2 adults in the back comfortable unless they either adult dwarfs or 2 amputees.
I’ve had 2 and both have been to London with 4 adults in and had no issues, I agree these are small but it’s not like there a Fiat 500
@@PaulRankinYT prob cause me and my mates all around 16 to 17st rugby players then ha
That’s gonna be a tight squeeze in most cars, I’m only about 5ft 8 so right around that dwarf, amputee status
How much did it cost ?
+jake pritchard around £15k should of been £22k with the spec it has
+OTB Tech have you kept it or sold it and if so why ? Cheers for replying
+jake pritchard I still have the car and will have it for another year or so while I'm saving for the Mustang
don't like them wheels on it not my cup of tea
If we all liked the same things the world would be boring but I’m just not a fan of the standard wheels the VXR comes with much prefer the upgraded 18’s
Egg head
+Angus Brown feel sorry for the chickens in your area if you think my head looks like an egg
Paul Rankin 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Paul Rankin my dads had the new corsa and Astra vxrs and old ones got a insignia vxr now and looking at a rs5 soon
