Your views about the Vauxhall Corsa Arctic Edition

[VRO6MO]

I might be mad of considering this, but my MK5 R32 is about 2.5 years old. So im busy weighting up of what would be a good replacement, such as the new scirocco (mayb the R version when the time comes), BMW 3 series, etc.

But recently, the launch of the Corsa Arctic Edition caught my eye and loving the look of it. I know it would be a big step backwards from what i got now but its as powerful as the GTIs, scirocco. But its time to move on.

So, what is everybody's view about new corsa latest addition?

Thanks

I had a mkv Gti then a mkv R32. Now i have a Corsa Vxr.

The Arctic is the same with the addition of Remus back box, black version of the normal alloys and as im sure you know comes in white.

As for perfomance, if you look at the power to weight i think it tells its own story. My Gti was more fun than the R32 and i think the VXR is more fun than the Gti. And im getting over 30mpg all aroung town.

If you do alot of motorway trips then the golf is the better car but the corsa is light and nimble in traffic and back roads. It does tram line a bit so deffo 2 hands on the wheel job.

Just googled that motor and have to say it does look a bit tasty for Corsa Good level of kit and the options are a good price.

I'm now going for a lay down after saying all that about an Opel.

I'd rather pay the extra buck for a Scirocco. Fantastic looking car, and very well equipped. Also pokey with a GTI engine.
