    Im a Ford guy, but i don't see why all the other Ford-guys are whining on here. Of course the VXR won, it's much more hardcore and has an LSD. The VXR should be compared to the likes of the Megane RS, and the Focus to the all-rounders in the hot hatch market, like the GTi. But it has to be said that the lack of grip on the Focus can be greatly improved with stickier tires and upgraded engine mounts.

    I love my focus ST but that Astra is a beast. I also think that you have to use the ST with a different approach and technique. Maybe he should have driven the Focus first. I went from a 2013 rear wheel drive Camaro to my 2013 front wheel drive Focus ST and couldn't be happier. I got the Focus for the room and ease of access to the back seats for my 4 year old and I got the ST so I could still have my toy and it's a blast. Took me a while to get used to it and the way it handles. Also took me a while to get to a 5.9sec 0-60mph because the break in the clutch is different from what I'm used to. He needs more time with it. Lots of torque steer to on an aggressive acceleration but now I don't even notice it because I'm so used to the car and my habits are taking over.

    It's a shame so many people are badge snobs. I traded in a mint series 1 Boxster S for my VXR, and the VXR is better in just about every measurable way. Of course, it's 15 years younger, but it's faster, more agile, safer, better equipped, handles better, and uses less fuel. It just doesn't have a Porsche badge on the front (but it also doesn't have Porsche-sized repair bills). I'm not sure why people in the comments are comparing the VXR to the Focus RS; maybe the RS was cheaper in Europe, but here in Australia it was about $15k more than the VXR but only 0.2 of a second faster to 100kmh.

    • @StephenButlerOne
      @StephenButlerOne 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Have you felt the with in them two doors. I live on a hill and have to reverse in my steet, my wife and my then 7-10 year old girl had to have someone to open the doors.
      As it's a 2 door there is alot of rigidity and strength in them doors. They feel like bank volt doors. Got rid of mine in November, for somthing the kids (and wife) could get out off. Cracking car to drive. Terrible internal electrics. Suffered from a grind loop issue from day one, Vx told me it was a design flaw, so a fix wouldn't fix it. A £4 inline passive noise 'risistor' fixe that.
      Also my driver door card, trh leather squeeked intermittently from about 6 moths old, "fixed" twice, didn't bother fixing it a 3rd time. Also the fuel tank needs baffels. Only car I've had where hen over half full when you stop it sounds like a dedlad person slams into the rear seats.
      Anther thing that I've only noticed with the gtc is how much diffent the drive feels between an empty tank and a full one. A thing over half full mad it seel like a boat. So I'd ony ever half fill it. Which pissed me off no end cos half a tank doesn't go far.

      Having owned both, the ST is the better allrounder day to day, ST really lacks a diff though and that’s the big difference. ST has the better interior, VXR looks nicer and is a bit quicker and is a sharper drive until you fit a diff to the ST and then it’s a whole different beast. I’m just done with Vauxhall’s lack of reliability and terrible gearboxes. My Astra VXR kept popping out of gear at only 10k miles. Garbage.

The new line of hot hatches are going to catch and outrun the older ones pretty soon. and when the new Focus RS comes out the older Megane will be completely destroyed.

    Actually, you're wrong. Megane RS is not a hardcore track car. Its got all the luxuries focus or astra have, and its in fact very comfortable and refined, more than some normal hatchbacks. New Megane is not like the old R26R. Its all around excellent car and won pretty much every single comparison ever conducted, even here on Evo.

  • @Zjories92
    @Zjories92 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Yeah, I'm not arguing about that but in terms of speed it shouldn't make any difference since both have about the same kind of horsepower. The LSD on the Astra makes the difference in lap time.
    And what about a m3 saloon (4 door)? Definitely more practical than the 2 door coupe if you ask me.

    difficult conditions, but seemed more concerned with sliding the rear end around. Also Vauxhalls have always been renowned for crap gear boxes and this one didn't sound too much better after a bit of hammer. The ST is better to live with, but to be honest the fair comparison would be the RS as that is the same price bracket and targeted more at the hot hatch market. Cant wait to see if ford release the new RS to trounce the VXR like the old one did!

    Thing is, if you want a fast Ford, save up and go all out with an RS. In saying that though, you could just grab a VXR8

    @Deuteross Completely agree with this comment. RS265 will kill them both on road or track :)

    and you call the focus st dissapointing. the power advantage of the astra having 25 horsepower more is clearly a difference. but the st got individual traction control. one everyday setting. one for novice race drivers and race mode where tc is turned complety of. it even got torque vector control. which means distributing power between the pulling wheels evenly

    On paper yes... but the times are pretty close Astra did it in 1:31.4 and RS265 did it in 1:28.5 both done by evo, different drivers and Renault did it completely dry. I'd still prefer the Renault though.

    the Astra VXR is currently the most comprehensive sports cars pull in ratio performance / comfort / polyvalance
    megane rs cup is too drastic and uncomfortable suspensions for drive every day .
    Astra VXR is most versatile and especially her design is wonderful and better than megane rs.
