I own an astra vxr they make much better use of power eg 2.0 t 240bhp against 2.5 t 225bhp?? also i think the vxr is put together much better i was looking at both before i made my decicion and test drove both preferred the vxr hands down and the all the crap and videos showing the poor handling is absolute bullshit a little bit of practise and confidence and you can get the vxr cornering just how you want it. its such a fun car i dont regret my decision at all. Also looks played a part in it aswell and i thort the st looked like something from barryboys with its daft stripes and awfull orange paintwork there also getting common to me its got the image of a chav they also depreciate faster than the vxr (thats if its not rusted by the time you come 2 sell it or its in the garage being repaired for some reason or another!)

both good cars guys, depends what your after, own a focus st myself but like the vxr too, in short st is better for everyday use and probably a better car on the twistys, the vxr is a faster point to point car and a more unforgiving drive… for enthusiasts.
