You spend all ya money on them, get them to exactly where you want and them some fcuker steals it! At least when some fcuker steals ya car you get an insurance payout!

mit Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Where do you guys find the roads to drive these things? Where I drive there's no difference between having a 316 and a M3... you just get to the next set of traffic lights a bit quicker Jay. and Ragamuffin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CliffThomson Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 If you're in a position to trade them both in, why not go M3? You've then got power, class, comfort, prestige and style. Win/Win. C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

das_flo Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Why don't you nip down here with £2.5k and your E46 and take this golf off my hands, 6 cylinder torque, hatchback, german engineering, loads of spec beautiful! My bro in law is bang into his VXR's, he's on his second now. His first arden blue one was one of the first tuned ones around, it was used by Regal for demo at shows etc, what a car! He flogged that wanting a BMW, and bought an E46 M3 vert, but that got punted on as he didn't get on with the smooth power delivery. He's back in a vaux now. There's just something lacking with them for me, I can't put my finger on it. Looks wise, your BMW is nicer IMO. Performance, well, there's no competition.

Melv1958 Posted July 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Cheers das flo, people always say VXRs are shocking at torque steer, you look at youtube jemery clarkson lets go of the sterrin wheel and puts foot down, what person does that lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
das_flo Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 They are a handful when tuned, but all FWD turbo's are the same aren't they? Some would argue that's the best bit. With VXR's it's all about that... raaaarrrrrrrrr, tishhh, bang exhaust note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melv1958 Posted July 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 You got it mate :-d, the pops and bangs from the exhausts are like shotguns going off lol and fighting with the steering is exciting :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
das_flo Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 I have a confession, I think i'd take a focus ST over a VXR. That said, I looked for a 5 door hatch and ended up with an R32 so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wash Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 RWD > FWD!!! Shame you've got an auto though as you could have way more fun in a manual going sideways nomis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
das_flo Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 I know I worked at ford when the ST came out and have a soft spot for them, reliability and depreciation put me off one though. The newest astra VXR is probably more attractive as a package than the new focus ST though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colossuss Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Why.. Just why? What are you looking for in a car? If you want to go crazy tuning something, then at least stick with RWD and go for something Jap with a turbo, like an S14 autosri 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich330ci Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 as a few have said it's really down to what you want from a car, the e46 is better looking and a more 'mature' car, but the VXR will give you the thrills when hooning about! the 325 just won't have the power against a tuned VXR to give the same straight line performance! i always loved playing about in FWD hatchs (mainly reno/cit/ford), but these days i much prefer a cruiser like a e46 etc, maybe you should go back to a VXR and you might find out in a year or so you might get the ///M itch! then go get M3/M5 etc!

Daz 330 Cs Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 WTF!?! Torque steeery fwd 'vauxhall' or RWD class looking executive car?! are you mental lol Gotta agree with this, as hot hatches go the VXR isn't well rated Jay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
