Which one would you go for, the Astra vxr or the Focus st?

The Focus would be cheaper to buy than an Astra vxr, but the Astra vxr would be cheap to insure, both have similar performance, same tax brand and both offer around 30 mpg (quoted from parker

). Although which one would you go for?

Tough one, they both look nice but the astra just tops it for me. The Focus is a bit cheaper tho so you could have one thats been played with and save a bit of cash lol

Both are great. All depends on your personal preference.

Standard vs standard theres nothing in it.

5 pot sounds great

Astra. I just prefer the look of the VXR over the ST. Like the RS though

Full 52? Litre tank lasted 200 miles.

16-20mpg around town, 30mpg on motorways.

the seats in the st are near enough the same as the vxr's? recaro's.

or do you mean the horrid colours?

if so, i agree, hence why you need to get a 3 really.

not exactly the same but they are recaro's, just that the vxr's seem to have a bigger side bolster.
