Right then I spent a long weekend with the new Corsa and I am still unsure on them
It has loads of road noise, you sit far to high up and the body roll is borderline scary.

VXR?
If not then you will get body roll on any non-sporty car if you throw it round corners, my Mums Rav4 is dreadfull round corners at high speed - because it's not designed for that

Look, you dickheads that haven't driven one fuck off and wank over 106 lift off oversteer while us without tunnel vision enjoy the fact Renault and Vauxhall have made the best hot hatches on the market.
Peugeots attempt? Laughable 207 GTi 107 XS Great.....

Oh dear. 106 GTi is a good car. But not the best. End Of.
Ive thrown a 106GTi round Castle Combe a few times, its far from a perfect drive.

the angled A-pillars restrict visibility, the long doors make access tricky in tight spaces and mean the front seatbelt is set back a long way, so it's hard to reach. The VXR-branded gearknob is also awkwardly shaped and looks out of place in such a small interior

Corsa VXR is a lovely looking car, sounds great but may have a few little niggles. doesnt mean that they are absolute crap.

Oh my good lord, what kind of ridiculous person wrote that? Its gearknob, a big one, does this affect the way the car looks or drives?

Im with you steve, 106 GTI may fall apart but power to weight of 155Bhp per tone at 145Bhp/930Kg its hard to beat this side of things such as the Lotus exige and Porsche GT3, the corsa vxr may be new but lets face it.
It Sucks ass 1250Kg prob more like 190Bhp and its little or no different to the 106 Gti and factor in lag and Vauxhall poor handling. what do you have??
A Vauxhall Turky VXR with big wheels and an unsightly center Exhaust and at the price point Oh dear....

That is the most ignorant post I have ever seen, and I've seen a lot of ignorant posts on here.
Focus ST? You want bodyroll, buy one of these.
You want torque stear, buy a Focus RS.
