Black Astra VXR

[01samuelr]

well here is my new daily, fun, shopping and mountain bike carrying hatchback.
Its a 1 owner full vauxhall service history and 32000 miles on the clock. The first owner spent a bit on extras such as AFL, cruise control, climate control and rear parking sensors. Its my first "quick" car (105bhp to 240bhp). I know these get a bit of stick about the "monumental" torque steer, but honestly if you don't drive like a then it really is a fun car to drive.







need to get some proper shots of it on the b roads around north wales

thanks for looking

black is a good colour for it

just remember you will now be travelling 60mph faster everywhere so watch the license

car looks gd, prefer the Focus ST myself in this vein of cars but don't mind the VXR's they are nice and nuts!

[bazza1000]

Looks great in black! Good buy, enjoy it

[JackTheLaddddd]

Looks very nice! Do you mind me asking your age?

Who cares?! This forum is obsessed with drivers' ages at the moment. It's irrelevant.

[BMW250L]

I had one for a year and hated every moment of it.....

Hope you enjoy it!

[MGZRod]

Assuming the Zed behind is your last car? Would match up with the bhp figures too! How do they compare?

[Ben Jk]

Good choice. I miss mine! Had mine for 2 years and loved every moment of it!

The torque steer is no way near as bad a people say.

Can I suggest DAP springs and a RARB which will improve the handling even more! Best mods to the £ you can do to a VXR.

I've got a set of Courtney Sport blue silicon hoses in my shed too if you are interested!

Also check out VXRonline. Good forum.

I like the Astra VXR. If I am honest, I prefer the blue examples, but black is rare (around me) and makes a nice change!

Enjoy!

Just get an insurance quote then..somebody of the same age in a different postcode could get a completely different quote to you.

I have to admit of VW GTI/Focus ST/Mazda MPS/etc, the VXR is the prettiest.

[sihartlepool]

I still can't get over how pretty these are.

[philmots]

I prefer it on those wheels to the optional ones. Looks a lot less showy/attention seeking.

[SXi Lad]

Looks great, and the specs are awesome. Love vxr snowflake alloys

[Baryonyx]

I've always liked these cars, though I prefer them in red or blue. The black ones look a little bit Astra 1.7 SRi CDTi for me.

[iggysport]

Nice, didn't think it was a VXR at first because of the colour.

Seats look comfy

Everyone has different circumstances, I was 19 driving a 172, 10 years ago, to say it was a group 16 car, I thought 1600 quid a year was reasonable.
