I'm planning on a new car soon and along with Astra VXR I've been looking at these. How do people rate them? General comments welcome. Cheers

They seem to fetch strong money but there're a few 03 examples for around 5-6k.

As said above, they go quite well and are easily tuned.
I wanted one before but insurance was a nono!
Look great too!

That Ibiza is nice. Great torque figure but I'm after something a bit bigger, comfortable and practical. Once my Corsa has been featured it'll be up for sale. As much as I love it, It's a money pit and I need to grow up

The 1.8 Turbs never get good mpg, doesn't matter how you drive it

No comparison to the VXR IMO
If i had the sort of cash for a VXR it would be between that and a Focus ST.For the Leon money i'd rather have a scooby or an R32 Golf.
