saxo reputation? people that haven't driven them feel the need to slag them off then they go out in one and completely change ur mind
traffic light grand prix? the ctr does 0-60 in 6.8 which is on par, if not better than most of the current hot hatch crop, it rolls on to 100mph in just over 16 secs, which, again is on par, if not better than most of the current hot hatch crop 
i was very impressed with the one i was out in today with richy (sooty)
its alright sitting on a computer and slagging cars off, but how many of you have actually driven/been out in a ctr??

I think he is trying to say the CTR is areodynamic?
Which is crap!
Or maybe he is trying to say it looks good?
Which is crap!
Either way, its crap

Possibly get your facts right, the CTR is infact VERY aerodynamic, i don't know the exact figures but i remember when they where releasing it they released all the information about exactly how aerodynamic it is, alot more then the above forementioned cars.

Seat Ibiza Cupra-R much better looking - No
Seat Leon Cupra-R much better looking - Yes, lovely car, but not a hatchback.
Astra Coupe Turbo much better looking - No (it's a coupe anyway, different type of car so unfair to match in comparison by looks)
Astra GSi Turbo much better looking - No (again not a hatchback so unfair to use in same arguement to do with looks)
Renault Clio Sport much better looking - NO!
Renault Clio Cup much better looking - NO!
Alfa Romeo GT much better looking - Not a Hatchback
Alfa Romeo GTV much better looking - Not a hatchback.
Need I continue?
need you continue? please start with hatchback's if it's a competition of looks, it's like me comparing a ferrari with a hummer for a looks competition, both in same price bracket.

Calibra still holds a few records for aerodynamics, and you can tell just by looking at the Calibra that its aerodynamic where as the CTR looks like a breadvan which is not aerodynamic.

It did for quite a while, i believe it is not so anymore, and again, it's not a HATCHBACK!!

No i do believe this is what you said "I think he is trying to say the CTR is areodynamic?

therefore you're saying the CTR is not aerodynamic, or even areodynamic if that's how you wish to spell it, the car IS very aerodynamic. Which proves you wrong.

Traffic light Gran Prix I bet CTR's get torn to pieces, ok once they start moving they will tear the arse off most things (maybe) but thats only if your a skilled driver and you will always be coming from behind.
I cannot understand why the old CTR had a LSD but the new one with more power has not got one 
And you can't get away from the fact that A) They look like a bread van
B) Have a Saxo reputation where everyone hates them.
I would never buy one as I think they look wank and I don't like the fact they have to be in a perfect situation all the time to be able to drive it fast.
Thats my argument you turd.
