scooby
as a former scooby owner i have a soft spot for them but if you seriously think they still have street cred you are mistaken they have become a chav's car to the point of no return which is sad but true

The VXR is a damn fine car, very fast standard, silly fast if upgraded. Cant compare it to the other astra's, As John s said the old turbo coupe has poo traction because the traction control was so intrusive (had one before my scoobies). Dont think we should get traction and hadling mixed up tho, yes in the wet the VXR that i am running (circa 300BHP) would have no chance against a tuned scooby round corners because of fwd, but it handles just as well.
Lipski how the hell did you get 32000 posts!. And you would not believe the amount of cupra r's that have tried to have a go, all to no avail. One of the new ones as well, so not sure about beats the VXR anyday

Oh and as for the new Cupra.. Mind you don't come across one that's had a remap (there's a few about).. 308bhp for £500.. I've heard you may struggle with one of them..
