  • In this video, I review Brad's 2008 Vauxhall Astra Nurburgring Edition. It is quite a high mileage example and was neglected by the previous owner. This is also a start to a new series on the channel!

    Can't beat an Astra VXR! Fantastic cars !!! Had one loved it. But the fuel was killing me! So decided to get a corsa vxr but I have kids so need space. So got a Meriva VXR same engine as the corsa but it's a small family bus. Call it the ANGRY TOASTER 🤣

      Hahahah! Love a good VXR then? Lol. Meriva is a bit of an oddball. I'm interested in it not gunna lie

      @@ZGVlogs the Meriva VXR was the test bed for the Corsa VXR . They are rare only 250 where made I think!! So one off tje rare VXR's . . Its like a corsa with space. They also have an overboost facility in 6th gear..So the turbo is spooling earlier on motorway. So pulls really good 👍 don't know if the corsa has this ? For an Angry toaster the top speed is high.

      Been told 25mpg average driving in the Astra VXRs, or they mikes worse than that?

      @@ImThommoX I'm on 25.3mpg in mine. That's normal none busy town driving. I reset the trip switch about 2 years ago.
      Before that i was doing a ton of motorway driving. Normal speeds with a heavy foot once in a while = 35.6mpg. Cruise control etc.
      Drive like an idiot and redline it all over the place not giving a f about anything = 17mpg. < never driven like this and never will. These are the people who complain that they are "crap" and break all the time and that they are "never out of the garage".

    It’s not really that high mileage for the age of the car.

      @@BR1T807 I'm never talking shit about Vauxhalls again. It's an absolute weapon. So fun to drive, trying to fight the steering wheel haha. Came with a stage 1 map, so I banged a steel induction kit on and the sound is phenomenal. the PSSSST and the TUTUTUTU of the turbo will never bore me - the missus hates it though. LMAO
