GTC VXR do I or not??

[Stellartois]

Long story short, due to a family illness we've had to sell our F355 and Delta integrale Evo 2 to help ease pressure of things but we're getting to the point where I may be able to get something a bit tasty again. Not able to put a huge amount, notwithstanding the fact the price range I'm looking at isn't inconsiderable, into a new car I'm currently torn between a 2016 Renaultsport Megane Trophy with 50k miles on it or a 2013 Astra GTC VXR with 7k miles. Looks wise the Astra wins hands down, it's just beautiful, the Megane seems to have a big rear end that somewhat turns me off but as a driver's car probably wins the day. Interiors are close but the Astra probably edges it.
Just thought I'd try and get some honest opinions on ownership of the VXR from those best placed to know..
Thanks

Thanks for taking the time to mention all that Steve, sounds it didn't come without its troubles for you. I've actually bought one since I put the post up, a 7000 mile Arden Blue 13 plate car from a dealer in Essex. It will be a sunny day car and I don't really expect to put too many miles on it each year. I have to admit the performance, looks and Interior were the main things that drew me to the car in the first place having never had a Vauxhall before, oh and that interior! I've read about the paint issues so might look into getting some ppf in a few strategic places. It's being delivered on Tuesday so watch this space, I'll post up some pics when it's here.
Thanks again,
Mike
