Just like to say that Max Power is probably dead now due to the internet, not because of a decline in popularity. There are more chavs around now than ten years ago, remember.

Oliver Smith, Brisbane, Australia

who cares if its a vauxhall!!! the extra cash you spend on a mini cooper compared to a vxr corsa is for nothing more than the badge, not performance or quality!!the vxr line of vauxhalls is a brilliantly group of motors, just because max power is dead doesn't mean the 'modded' look is!love the corsa

Nathan Turner, Wednesbury, ENGLAND!!!!

well i have had my corsa vxr for just short of 2 month now, and guess what? i need a new engine, not my fault. they say its something to do with the valves, the vxr does not like to be reved, vauxhall has had it for 9 weeks now, and havent even started work on it yet!!

ashley morley, pontefract, west yorkshire

Well been driving the Corsa VXR now for 8 months, 26K on the clock, still a fantastic drive. Must say though i personally don't feel the torque at all??? I would say though you may need to hold the steering wheel firmly when driving!!!!!!! Oh yes did forget to mention were at STAGE 2 and counting.

Rich, Bristol,

Corsa VXR.
Have just taken delivery of one in March 08 finished in Ardern Blue and had the 18" Alloys and advance forward lighting as extras. I waited nearly 3 months for it and boy was it worth the wait. Everywhere I go people stare at it. And boy does it go! I love it!

Keith , Chester, U.K.

heya i have just part xd my mini cooper for new vxr blue yaa!! just waiting for delivery now cant wait!! glad to see all the reviews are good!!

hayley, westmidlands,

just recently test driven:

Clio 197
dissapointing!..slower than performance figures suggest,no torque &gearbox has poor ratios,poor basic spec,poor build quality with less kit than the corsa,lots of extras needed@extra cost! best bit was 4pot brembos & handling..But it's no real reason to buy french!...even the part leather from the 172/182 has gone!! stay away!

Civic Type R
ok it is fast...but it needs revving 5000rpm+ and this gets very tiring!,midrange power/torque is non existant! add no air con for your 18K & your left with a re-bodied old engined civic! & an 80's digital speedo?? although build quality is superb,handling is razor sharp,brakes are poor from speed needs clio's 4pots! price should be 16K not 18K!

Corsa VXR
Well Spec'd,Fast turbo power from start & through midrange, looks great,bargain@16K new,18's look great, handling is sharp,gearbox slick,& lots of standard kit inc-A/C/CD/MP3/cruise/recaro half leather trim, try one its leagues ahead of the clio!!

andy, hull, yorkshire

have had a feeling this would be a good car since pictures first showed up on the net.

i like its styling, pointy like a shark and that one in cornwall turned a few heads...

its statistics are amazing, with its ferrari like exaust, lamborghini airbags, and the speed to give the new golf a run for its money. Its a real show off's car, thats why if I bought one i would loose all my friends.

but i would take them all for a ride in it and then they would all want one :D

Shaun, Derbyshire, UK

I Feel so sorry for the plonker ( Who is and still has a Mini Cooper) Its just a shame BMW have to pick up the pieces! I neaver rated it looks like a sardine can and still dont!

Rich, Bristol,

i dont understand how you can say people dont take notice of a vxr when seen on the road. When i see a corsa astra or vectra vxr on the street i cant take my eyes off it, the one thing it is not is boring. Even when i saw a black corsa at night i just wanted to look at it and take in every detail.

At the motor show i think i must of spent more time in the vauxhall stand then any other car. I spent a good hour getting in and out of each of their cars. The look of the vectra astra and the corsa seem to catch my attention and dont let go. Out of all the hot hatches id take the corsa any day.
So i have to say, they aren't main stream or mundain and i really, really do care.

john d, london, england

Will everyone please give this car a rest, It is FANTASTIC and worth every penny, It is a great compromise for a car, you can use it on a daily basis as a very comfortable car and yet you can take it to a track day as a standard car and will come away with the biggest grin ever, it handles like a dream thanks to Vauxhall pouring money into its development at Nurburgring perfecting it's chassis and handling!! I believe this car is aimed at the people that can't afford somethng really sporty like my self, so they can take it to a track day at the weekend and then cruise to and from work during the week. I have much respect for JC and enjoy reading everything he does, but please lets not forget he has almost any car at his disposal and owns some extremely nice cars, so in comparrison to a Ferrari or Lambo its going to seem like a pile of scrap, but to someone who has less than £20k in their pocket who wants a pocket rocket/sensible car this is the car for them!! Don't listen to JC!!!!!

Matt Mills, Whitstable, UK

He does have a point. No one cares. I remember at the British Motor Show in July 2006, the launch of what is possibly the most important new car of 2006, they were in a darker area and were treated like the parked MKIV Golf outside. I didn't see it right to alert my freinds who were with me because I feared they wouldn't car.

This new styling language is useless. I saw an Astra VXR one day when I went to work and no one took even a second glance. Only serious petrolheads know (and care) that it has 240bhp and does 60 in under 6 seconds. Only serious petrolheads are impressed by that.

They are good cars but they are too mainstream and mundain. The square millimetre under the front left tyre of the car in the picture is more interesting than a new Vauxhall. Which is a shame because they have an interesting [looking] badge (the famous Griffin).

Fahad, London,

I'd still (and do) have the Cooper S over this car. At the end of the day your comparing a BMW and a Vauxhall. Its a no-brainer. The Vauxhall Corsa has the image of a boy racers car, much like the Ford Fiesta ST, where as the Mini Cooper S has much more of an image of a performance car (or girls car, depending on who you ask!). Either way I'd rather be seen driving a Cooper S than a Corsa.

Mike, Tunbridge Wells, Kent

Saw one at Thruxton, liked the specs, picked it up and as many people say, I haven't stopped grinning. Where I live, the grey hairs do no more than 25mph. So there's plenty for the Corsa to eat before breakfast. Mine came with the 18" Wheels and bluetooth. The ride is absolutely fine along the poorly maintained lanes the Council laughingly calls the highway. Better than my other car. A Westfield-Lotus.

Jon Bennett-Snewin, Bournemouth, Dorset

As a driving instructor, yes i did say driving instructor, i have always taught in a corsa. The last was a corsa sri the cluch lasted 120K honestly! I traded it in for a Corsa VXR and have adaptive lights which are brilliant and blue metalic paint. My pupils think its fantastic!! So in my opinion the'yve devolped a nother superb hatch that just keeps going and going and going. Keep up the good work Vauxhall.

Rich , Bristol, UK

The Corsa is NOT an 18k car. I ordered one in May for £15.5k. Its got cruise, air con and loads of other kit, plus I got metallic paint and mats thrown in.

I know the Corsa is daft, but it made me smile and for £15k there wasn't anything else around that had that effect on me (or my girlfriend).

Trouble is that I've got to wait until October for delivery :-(

Jonny V, Sheffield, South Yorkshires

As a kid I always wanted to own an RS2000. When the Corsa VXR photos hit the motoring press I finally got that same excitement about a car again. Indeed, at 41 years old I thought it was downhill towards the eco world of a wheezing 1.2 euro hatch.

I looked at buying an Alfa, Seat Cupra, the Civic type R (hardly subtle) and, of course, I took a look at the revolting Mini (boy do I hate everything about that German/British pretender).

Rolling up at the Vauxhall dealer I finally got some good service and as the salesman handed me the keys for the test drive it made me smile and grin and giggle like a school boy. (Cue soft music and lights.) I fell in love with the Corsa VXR! Sure, it's a Vauxhall (good local service, polite staff and reasonable service costs) but it's also that school boy dream. Deposit
paid – the only bad thing is, I have to wait to October to pick mine up.

DES, Cambridge, England

The V-Tec in the Type R is truly a god amongst mere mortals and therefore doesn’t need upgrading just yet.

Has for the idea of buying a Corsa? If I was a girl with a fetish for all things K and N then maybe, just maybe I’d buy one. But it wouldn’t be this one because it’s too expensive to chop up and fit more spoilers on…

Personally I’d rather spend my eighteen grand on something more satisfying like a Delta Integrale, a bike trailer and a Yamaha R1 to put on it. I could even have enough left over for a tent and a day pass at the Nurburbring.

Rob, Preston,

Oh how i love those council houses with plastic santas..lights all round..but much more important is the family.the love..the sharing.. that puts a smile on my face .Nobody with any driving skill whatsoever rolls back on a hill.Except those rich ..forget my past ..not so young [anymore] who brave it all ..Jeremy you are beginning to irritate your "fan" base the poor working sods like me who are ..And do..have plastic santas

david, Barnsley, England

The problem I've always had with Corsas (one I'm sure you won't share) is that the clutch was so long that anyone under 6ft had to sit on the edge of their seat to be able to change gear. That, and the killer blind spots, are why I'd never buy a Corsa.

That said, I'd sooner buy a Corsa than a Mini - at least the Corsa has an interior that doesn't immediately make you want to smash it into hundreds of pieces, just to stop all the circles and roundness.

Gemma, Belfast,

clarkson is the best motoring journalist ever to land on planet earth. but i would just like to ask, what does he think of a classic mini?

t.jameson, london,

Totally enjoyable article from my favourite British writer and journalist. Having friends who drive Corsa's, and driving a Mondeo myself I agree totally with every word. My family also drives a Clio and it's plush and comfy but your worst ever nightmare of unreliability and out of warranty service costs. I reckon the best small family car is the Ford Fusion actually, just bought one for the wife and it's fantastic beyond words.

Steve, Wembley, England

The clio has torque, you just have to keep the revs high. I wouldn't say that was a negative review, its seems very positive, i disagree with buying the civic type r. They haven't upgraded the engine performance from the last type r and the interior seems very, what's the word, ostentatious. I was sent the brochure for the new corsa vxr. when speccing it up it came to 17,500. Now with it being vauxhall you will be able to get a fairly good discount just by haggling. Not a bad price for a brand new, hot hatch.

Guy, Surbiton, Surrey

I was starting to enjoy your peerless articles once more Jeremy. Then you go and have a relapse into chronic mentionitis. Will you never come to terms with the fact that Gill major is only interested in his own column. A bit gay?!

bob bowden, daventry, england

Holden badge ? Dude, the Holden badge in Australia is only now (notice only now) suffering the same decline in badge prestioge that has happened to Vauxhall in the UK. Notice the amount of Audi's, VW's and BMW's on the streets in Melbourne (Sydney is still chav-tastic and Japanese cars and Holdens are still de rigeur) and clearly the only people who drive Holdens and Fords anymore are all called Shane and do burn outs in the supermarket car parks of broadmeadows (for a UK Audience think Staines).

Tom, Melbourne, VIC

I do not understand this thing about taking your foot off the clutch and rolling back. Have I not been driving normal cars all this time?

Leroy, Ilford, UK

For a car that costs £18000 with all the kit this doesnt stand a chance. Forget the corsa and the mini its a girls car (and really doesnt look that good) and buy a Honda Civic Type R for the same money in black. You get more car for the money looks soo good and is still the king of the hatches.

Gregory Pippas, Camnridge,

So you think the modified car market is shrinking Jezza? You've obviously not been within 20miles of Southend on a saturday night (with good reason, i may add), as there are still swarms of tarted-up Novas and Saxos tooling around like little neon fireflies everywhere...

Like the review though, its very true that no matter how good the Corsa/Astra VXR's are, they just look awful. The Megane R26 makes them look like posh schoolboys who's mummy had bought them all of the latest kit but still looked stupid.....

Tim Oldland, Wickford, Essex, UK

I would just like to say to all the morons that think this is a negative review of the VXR Corsa - HELLO! - If you can't understand wit and sarcasm then you really shouldn't be reading a Clarkson review, let alone any other decent motoring writers' articles.

To help you understand - Clarkson likes the car! He gave the car 4 stars out of 5! He even stated that it was better value than a Cooper S!

The only negative comments were regarding the desirability of the Vauxhall badge. Most drivers do not buy a car for the way that it drives. People tend to buy cars for one (or a combo) of the following reasons: Style; Badge prestige; Price; Insurance savings; etc.

Badge prestige (or rather, the perception of) really irritates me. I generally buy cars because I like the way they drive. If it puts a smile on my face when I'm behind the wheel - that's all that matters. What do I care what other people think? Honda, BMW, Vauxhall - what does it really matter which badge is on the bonnet?

Peter, London, UK

"you don't want one, do you?"

well actually i've got one and looks aside, it's a pretty good car. I guess it is what you'd call a woman-friendly car : easy to drive and easy to park (important ), large enough not be ridiculously small and to fit an entire family, dog included. What more can a woman ask?
That is apart from maybe a chich mini that'll make a trip in the capital more trendy.. . but then again a mini wouldn't have space for both the kids and the dog and the husband - and without the husband, we wouldn't be driving anywhere as it is common knowledge that women can't read maps...

Thanks for an enjoyable article - i heartily recommend the car, it's a pleasure to drive.

Olivia, Copenhagen, Denmark

Robin Ayres is sooooo wrong about Opel. More Vauxhalls are sold in Britain than Opels are sold in Germany, where Opel is a deeply naff badge and the butt of endless jokes. There are German badges and there are German badges, and Opel is one that has zero class.

David Wilkins, Ely, UK

"...which is to motoring what Nicholas Witchell is to wrestling." Classic line Mr Clarkson!

Sadly this car looks cheap and tacky with all those spoilers and vents everywhere. This was really done on the cheap - it actually looks worse than some of the stick-on-exhaust undersill-lit piles of poo that tear around our council estates. Still it's a Corsa so I suppose that's to be expected.

The car has a 'pedigree'? Well that takes the biscuit! What worries me is that the gimps who predominantly drive these cars think for some reason that doing so makes them 'cool' (whatever floats your boat), fast (gimme a break) and that they are entitled, nay obliged to race against cars with a REAL pedigree that they can never actually beat - but probably think they can because screeching through suburbs at 45mph and revving engines at traffic lights is perfectly aqcceptable to them... God knows why, if you drive a 'hot' Corsa you clearly have nothing to prove: your foibles are on permanent display.

Paul Danson, Birmingham,

I cannot recognise Clarkson as a credible Motor Journalist.
He spends 90% of his Corsa review downing Ford and Vauxhall and then awards 4 stars! In his car Write ups all he is concerned with is speed and acceleration and disregards the key features that a family car requires. In addition he does not have to pay for the cars he drives - if he did, he might have a different view.
He never comments on servicing costs and reliability, because he only drives a car for a short time.
The sooner his schoolboy standard of article end-the better.
I have driven Vauxhalls for many years and find they meet the needs of an average family very well.

CHRIS CORDER, Keswick, UK

Why complain about how 'Vauxhall' design their cars, when they are merely re-badged Opels? How many Vauxhall-branded cars are made in the UK, anyway?

To take Jeremy's point a little further, if UK motorists fight shy of the Vauxhall name, why not call them Opels? That's what they are in the rest of Europe, or rather in Europe. Opel is a German brand and the association with the home of all those high-quality car-makers might help.

Robin Ayres, Barcelona, Spain

My God ! Clarkson raving about a Vauxhall? Whatever next? I took delivery of my Corsa VXR last week and it has not disappointed - it his HOT, fun, loose and corners like sex on wheels.
There is absolutely nothing I don't like about my VXR except, as pointed out by Jeremy, the steering wheel, but £210 later, I have had it replaced by a MoMo which is delightful.
Why have Vauxhall taken more than 30 years to finally design and build a decent car once again? I would point out that the boot is just big enough to squeeze Clarkson inside and still have space for a flight bag and a CD changer.
GO VAUXHALL !

Robert Brett, Hastings, United Kingdom

The Corsa is coming to Canada, badged as a Saturn, with a 140 bhp 1.8L engine. No word on the VXR making it over as a Red Line.

Tim Wilcox, Sault Ste Marie, ON, Canada

Note to Chas, Indiana, USA
the car is £15k not $15k Dollars!
It equates to approx $28,000 mate.

ste, Leeds, UK

So you're saying that the Vauxhall car is a bit homosexual, eh?

Clothilde Simon, Leeds,

I think that speculation of the CORSA ( No matter how good ( Or Bad)) coming to North America will not happen. G.M. are using Holden from Australia at present and I do not think they will add another Foreign Import to their portfollio.
I recently spent some time in OZ and was quite impressed by the Holden products.
There is unfortunately built in resistance to the Vauxhall badge in Canada related to a disaster with the Vauxhall Viva which resulted in a Class Action Lawsuit.
P.S You can have a Mercedes B Class in Canada for under 15,000 Pounds Stg, or a 3 Series BMW for not much more.
Where would you position and price the CORSA?

W. Allan Ingram, Burlington, Ontario

Robert, it's not unprecedented. Clarkson was delighted by the Vauxhall Monaro (admittedly a re-badged Holden) but nonetheless...
However, the geniuses who mismanage GM axed that after two models.

Rollingthunder, Singo, Australia

By way of comparison, just bought (about 5 months ago now) a Honda Accord Euro 2007 model here in Sydney, Australia. The cost? $37,000 drive away, which is almost exactly the equivalent of the £15,625 base-price of the Vauxhall. I know which is the better vehicle! Sounds like you poms are getting seriously ripped over there! Then again, don't come here - there's enough of you lot in Manly and Bondi already. (And you're not driving Vauxhalls ;) )

David, Sydney, Australia

If you are over 25 years old you are going to look like a right plonker driving this, why would Vauxhall think that I want to drive around in a car that the designers couldn’t stop designing (sorry ordering from demon tweaks). Give me the subtle style of the Clio 197

Matthew Haslehurst , Doncaster, South Yorkshire

My God ! Clarkson raving about a Vauxhall? Whatever next? I took delivery of my Corsa VXR last week and it has not disappointed - it his HOT, fun, loose and corners like sex on wheels.

GO VAUXHALL !

Robert Brett, Hastings, United Kingdom

well, nice yaping once more, but since I don't give a rats ass about the British Empire would it be too much to ask ... is this car good on the road? does it corners well? does it stop like a coyote cartoon when I need it to? does it stick to the road like a lizard on hash? Dam the badge, I will cover it up with a superman one anyway, but is it worth it?

Vag, Athens, Greece

Why does'nt Vauxhall leave the 'boy racer ' models to Honda, who are good at it, and produce some better quality up market cars, like the Maxima or Camry?

David L Jordan, Hedgesville, WV, USA

Heaven forbid..it isn't a bit "ginger-beer" is it?

Gennarro Cannelli, San Mateo, Ca.94402

Not true, Rob. We Americans like our expensive toys. Speed and status are big selling points. And $15K won't get you much these days. FYI a loaded Toyota full-size pickup truck is almost $50K. BMWs start in the mid 30's...you get the idea. You are correct about one thing. Autos are a necessary evil here - - an expensive tool, if you will

chas, Indiana, USA

$30,000 for a little biscuit tin! In the US you could get something seriously upmarket for that amount.

Clive, Monterrey, Mexico

Easy way of making Vauxhalls acceptable, put an Opel or even better a Holden badge on instead.

John, Sussex, UK

These cards can't be sold easily in the US as they are too expensive. Ask an American to pay $20K for a supermini when they can buy a big truck for $15K. In europe we regard cars as luxury items. We expect very high standards and are willing to pay for them. In the US the car is a tool and is priced accordingly.

Rob, Bristol, UK

"the pubic hair of Thai virgins"
If only I could write like that. Clarkson, you crack me up, sir!

Gus, Los Angeles, USA / CA

As much as I like the old boy I can't agree with a lot of what he says. The VXR takes a pounding for the flat bottomed impractical steering wheel, however the same shaped wheel is on the Audi S3 and TT Sline.

I think he's also not looking at the type of person this is aimed at. Guys around their early twenties with a decent disposable income who want to get from 0-60 ASAP. It's not the same market as the middle aged professional who wants a relaxing drive in a 318BMW whilst feeling smug about the badge on the bonnet.

I'm sure it will sell well.

Strobemonkey, Glasgow,

Why not mention the Skoda? I think it beats them all in quality, value and embarrassement.

John McIntyre, London, UK

Ford did try to sell Sierras in the US in the late 80s through their Mercury dealerships. With no advertising, no parts supply, and no dealer/mechanic training it was an abysmal failure and is often cited as proof within Ford that Americans don't want their European offerings.

Greg, Chicago, USA

Brad Ysseldke, from USA, makes a good point. Vauxhall/Opel and Ford now make some excellent cars in Europe. Focus, new Mondeo, S-Max, Astra, Zafira and now the new Corsa are as good as anything the Japanese and, increasingly, the Koreans sell in the US.

Why don't GM and Ford properly market their European products and sell them in the US? They are certainly better than most of their own US produced efforts and stand a much better chance of helping these companies regain their ever sliding market share.

Paul Roberts, London, UK

Where have I seen these kinds of problems before? Awesomely good cars at great prices, good performance to boot, but they are burdened with Ford and Chevrolet badges on the hood.

Ooops. Someone screwed up.

It would be shame to not have the Corsa be accepted as one of the better hot-hatches, and at least with the presumed success to come of it, have the car eventually make its way to the US like it's older sibling, the Astra. Its one of those last pieces that the GM puzzle is missing around here, so lets hope Lutz and the gang can wise-up and ship a few off to Detroit.

...Because if the car drives as well as it looks (I think it looks nice), I'm sure they wouldn't have a problem selling them here...

Brad Ysseldke, Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA

Have they solved the key problem. The old corsa was the car with steal appeal, because there were only 12 keys for all the cars. All you needed was the twelve and you could drive away any corsa. The same is true for the Kadett. I have known people who have had their corsa stolen up to 5 times in a month. The only good part is they are usually so awfull thet they are dumped on the edge of the city.

Pedro, Granada, Spain

"My conclusion then is simple. The Corsa is great."

How can this be misconstrued as a negative comment/review? Perhaps this is a dreadful step back in time to the dark days when children said "wicked" when they meant good? Please enlighten me.

Richard, Taipei, Taiwan

Who cares about Opel Vauxhall Renault or Ford anyway? Stop arguing.

k, tallinn, estonia

From what I can see this is a very positive review - it's simply saying that the car is great, but people are mostly shallow / sheep / idiots (delete where applicable).. a sentiment I'm sure most of us can agree with!

I like this particular Corsa even though I share a disdain for the older models of almost Clarksonian proportions. It's a fun, knockabout car with little regard for common sense or acceptability and that's sadly missing from many motors of today. You just have to decide what's more important to you - the frowns coming from the outside, or the grins from the inside..

Craig, Leicester, Leics

No one cares?

Is that why Vauxhall have sold their 2500 allocation for the year?

What would you know what people want Clarkson? You live in a world where a 'normal' car is an Aston

This car has already been massively popular for Vauxhall, the sales demonstrate this.

Ross, Newcastle,

what's going on? he doesn't even mention the renault clio in this article and he showers praise on the corsa! i'm really confused by everyone's comments.

M.A., Abu Dhabi,

New Mini Cooper S emissions 164. Hill start part of DSC option and you can get a heated front screen! Had mine since launch in Nov 06, averaging 38mpg. Most of all, residuals way ahead of all the competion. Had supercharged Cooper S for two years before, turbo just as flexible, sport button sharpens response but you have to switch it on each time you start the engine.

Alex, Hove, UK

Agree with Thomas... somebody enlighten us please!

Alfredo Nieto, Madrid, Spain

Not quite sure what the other reviews are talking about but when Clarkson gives a rating of 4 out of 5 for a Vauxhall it's doing well.

Also agree with the general comments of Ford and Vauxhall verses Audi, BMW etc having voluntarily changed from an A4 to a much better, much cheaper, much more reliable TDCi Mondeo. Oh, and you save half the price of an Audi on the optional extras too - nearly everything you don't get on an Audi is standard on a Mondeo, and you get the heated front screen you can't even buy on an Audi, BMW or Merc!

Andy, Chester, UK

This isn't a negative review ?? Or am I missing something?

Thomas, Toronto, Canada

you have got to be the only person i have heard say something bad about the vxr, this sounds like a very biased review towards the clio as you dont stop saying how good it is when really you should be talking about the vxr. i have a vxr corsa and i couldnt be happier, the turbo is great and the car is very very nippy! and corners like a house fly!

Jim, wales, uk

Wrong.

The Corsa wins it hands down. The Clio is a great car for sure, but not a pedigree like the VXR.

jON, london, UK

Agreed this review is the only negative one I have read, all the others are very positive. I think this is a biased review!

Rich, Bristol,

I have read at least 4 other reviews which all put the corsa infront of the Clio. The small engine is needed for keeping emissions low. Clio - 209. Corsa -190.
Besides i think most hot hatch buyers associate a turbo engine with this type of car. Only the Honda Type R & Clio go against this trend.
Above all, i saw both cars side by side at the BTCC last weekend and the Corsa was leagues ahead of the Clip in the looks department.

Jay, Croydon LONDON, UK

ohhhh... this is the first negative review i have read about the corsa vxr.. and isnt the clio 197 UNresponsive? i thhght it had no torque....

hari, chennai, india
