I'd still buy the Astra but cool none the less

My mum has an Astra 4 GSi and didn't but a VXR because you can't fit a tow hook. She was 60 in September.

they are totally different from standard "d" seats.
nothing like the vxr jobbies.

they're like the ones in the Astra, just with holes in.
some of the past VW attempts at seats have been shocking also, the new ones are a lot more bolstered and actually "bucket" like.
can we stop talking seats now lol

oh wait, that's right, it's not really an equivalent 
nope. i doubt VW will ever make a car like the vxr corsa.
if in a few years they dropped to say £10k i'd consider one, but for that money it's dc5 money, and god knows what else. £15k is a hell of a lot of money.

Now you are comparing a brand new car with a 2nd hand car

But a decent second hand DC5 about 4 years old costs £14k and is impossible to insure? THIS IS BRAND NEW FOR 15.5k!

yeah, but if you were buying new, then it would be a good choice, as it's only direct rival is the clio.
I know what you mean though

loads more support in them!! are u on drugs serious question? cuz u seem to be the only one who cant see the differences in them?
get down to a vx dealer when they are in showrooms and sit in one cuz they are just like sitting in proper bucket seats
