The petrol ones are utter jobby, diesel ones might be different
IMO diesels are usually better than their petrol equvailant

my mam has a vxr that iv drove on several occasions, not a bad looking car IMO, looks very high though, doesnt handle anywhere near as well as i would expect and the pillars really are a nightmare to drive with, especially trying to see around the massive blind spot through the silly little windows at the front. Overall though my c20xe corsa b nocks the socks of the vxr in all departments for me, much more of a drivers car, more responsive, handles much better and is just more of a fun car.feels like a small hatch should, not like a shrunken picasso.lol

in all honesty, despite that fact the vxr was obviously quicker, I preferred the drive on the diesel (then again I do prefer diesels to petrols so maybe I'm biased  )

ive driven the 1.4 petrol, had it as a hire car for 7 days. i totally agree with the restrictive view as the pillars are massive. it all been built around safety.
the 1.4 felt slow but at the end of the day is only a small engine, as a general run around it would be a great car. a bit cheap inside but does the job considering they are priced well
i like the look of the vxr although i havnt driven one or been in one,
but personally id never buy any of the others
