GAZ 2617 Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 A VXR forum will say VXR. An E46 forum SHOULD say E46. A VXR is probably more fun round twisties, but the bimmer is more of a cruiser. Depends how you drive, where you drive, and how often. Horses for courses mate. Blair, RickyZ and PeterH 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay. Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 I don't see the point in 'dusting off' other cars, waste of fuel & you don't gain anything from it aside an adrenalin rush or something, I just like a comfy car to own with fairly reasonable running costs & not looking like a chav!

Bassline Toad Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 Personally, (although it's a tough one) is going to be the e46. It's got class and style, whereas the VXR will always have a slight chavvy look about it, if you know what I mean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_S Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 If you must have a hot hatch at least get a decent one! Get a Megane RS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob- Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 Never have bought a vauxhall, never will buy a vauxhall. They are w**k IMO, would rather get the bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autosri Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 why not spend the money and boost the 325 rear wheel drive will leave a fwd vxr for dead is more rewarding when driven fast and as a bonus its not an m3 ben and Wash 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Turko Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 I'm a big fan of the VXR. Although looks a bit too lairy for me to own as a daily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_S Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 Ive driven the Megane RS and the Clio RS. And the Corsa VXR. Loved them all (it was only dealer test drives, mind) The Megane was a really nice car. It was quick and felt well built together. The Clio was NUTS! It was like having a line of coke, only more legal! Absolutely manic! GPP and autosri 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveGT Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 (edited) If doesn't matter how often you take it to halfords it'll never look better than this, stick with the E46 Edited July 26, 2012 by DaveGT Jay., GAZ 2617, mit and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stampers Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 i used to love the feeling of a new focus rs cuming behind my arse and my just blowing it Ummm, what!? I'm not one for slutty novels but that's just pure filth! 50 shades of grey, eat yer heart out! On the car side of things, I'm going to have to say the VXR. I'm not a chav (far from it!) but it's got so much presence on the road. You'd have to spend a lot of money on the 325 to get it to perform (power-wise) anywhere near that VXR, especially seeing what those printouts show. I'm a German car man through and through, but the VXR is definitely one of those "gotta-give-it-a-try" cars along with the Focus RS, Golf R32, and RS Clio. I say go for it mate. If it puts a smile on your face and you enjoy driving it then don't hold yourself back. Only thing I'm not a fan of is the bonnet vents. A nice moulded central one would look great, but I guess it all depends on the purpose over looks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
