VXT serious performance per £££
Vaux had stricter quality control than loutus hence why when RAC inspected them the rejected the majority of them back to loutus before they made it to the dealers.
Running costs will be significantly lower and the equivilent Elise wont have ABS or an airbag

having driven my evo a lot and adams vx quite a few times i honestly don't know which i would pick, the evo was my dream when i bought it and is a pure joy to drive, it comfy, handles well, has a boot....lol, and is everything i wanted it to be 
adam's vx is small, fun and a totally different driving experience to the evo (you can't get the back end out no matter what )
When it comes to cost.......... my insurance is about the same as adams (although i am older and have no points).............everything else is definatly at least twice as much servicing, oil changes, fuel consumption etc etc......but i think you can't buy a car like these and then moan about the cost of running them you know that when you buy
that being said i wouldn't swap the evo for the vx but if anything happened to it and i had money in my hand had both cars in front of me to buy i don't honestly know which i would pick

I think it would have to end up being down to the drive. pros and cons to both really, which doesnt make if easy.
I've seen a nice car tonight that i wouldnt mind and could see myself in but it would have to be abit faster. bieran knows what im talking about
have to save some money first before looking though and descide what to do with the corsa
Cheers for the info anyway
