Talking THINKING OF BUYING A VXR

Im sat here now waiting for the dealer to ring me with a price on my range rover sport

I went to the dealers today for a test drive and was pretty impresed with the
racing feel ...dont laff it felt pretty quick but is it because iv been in the rangey for over a year, im gona go for the nurburg one ,it has leather, tints, ect

Vauxhall VXR - Performance forged on the racetrack

No 4wd, nicely built, pretty quick, fun handling but with some torque steer on the ragged edge.

Seem like pretty good cars overall. Did you get bored of the Scoob ?

I like them and have been blown twice in my standard 2003 wrx. If I could afford a new motor it would actually be my first choice as none of the other hot hatches impress me looks wise. Not too sure of them stickers though on the special edition. Lovin the whiteness though.
