Hey guys, i'm seriously considering buyin a corsa vxr but not sure which one to get. I was just gonna buy a std one at first until i saw the arctic edition and realised it had the remus exhaust and an extra 15bhp/22lb.ft torque.
Not sure what to do, help!!!
Any advice on which would be the better one to get?

If the arctic pushes your button looks, edition and power wise go for it, both cars aren't a million miles apart tho for a about 600 you can have the same spec on a standard one picking them up for about 5-8k these days just really depends what takes your fancy.

Depends really. For same budget the artic will be older due to the higher premium so does age play a part?

^This. Use the money you save by buying standard and make it quicker than an Arctic.

3 piece remus / milltek exhaust system or 3" bore scorpion exhaust, green cotton or ITG panel filter, less aggressive stage 1 map

Any map higher and you going to run the risk of melting piston 4 unless you invest in forged pistons.

I've always liked the artic & there that bit more special being a limited edition. But like the others say to save money get a normal one and spend the money you saved on mods for that one.

I'd go with what RCoughtrie said had/has some very nice corsas
