Also the ultimate it’s the vxrR

Love the random video drops in time for dinner too 😂💯

Allways love the random bits of info like "forgot my belt.. feel like a roadman" in calvins vids 😂😂😂😂

The seats can be fixed easily with some clips direct from recaro, they used to send them out for free but have since stopped. They charge a small amount for them now. Happens on every single model of corsa vxr. I have a 2016 corsa E VXR with the performance pack, full leather heated seats, winter pack. It’s a brilliant little car.

Where can you Get the clips from

I'm 51 and love my Corsa vxr puts a smile on my face every time I drive it.

Seat issue is normal, you can get a clip set from Recaro, they send it out to you free, just email them. Another great video, I miss mine.

I loved my 07 Corsa Vxr. Bought it with just 8k on the clock, it soon needed a gearbox(luckily under warranty) then needed another box rebuild at around 25k. Lowered 25mm H&R springs, remus down pipe, panel filter, Such a superb handling little thing. Engine wise was trouble free I was always scared to have it mapped due to piston 4 issue.

got a 2012 vxr, stage 2, 3inch piper with sports cat, aem cone filter and lowered on 15mm eibach's. had to do replace the 6th gear bearing about 2 years ago, common on these when you start to get a whine coming from the gearbox area. and I had to replace the clutch about a year ago. apart from that, had no real engine trouble. running 220bhp. runs like a dream. not forged either. people get scared about the piston 4 issue but if you take care of it and do a full yearly service every time, you should be fine. only done 26k miles as well and they are going up in value.

Good old M32 gearbox, shame it took them so long to beef up but I find it odd how unmapped you needed 2 replacements on a corsa. Thought it was more of a problem on mapped diesels or even bigger power tuned astra VXRs

Aye calv your never too old for a tear up in a motor mate.

Had to take my wife's Corsa VXR for the MOT the other day, rarely drive it, fun little car so took the long way home! She won't part with it despite suggesting to get something else, probably worth a reasonable amount, 9 years old with 13,600 miles on the clock. 12-mile weekly commute to work keeps the miles down, one bonus is that it only needs petrol every 3 months.

Was around 900 Nürburgring Editions and was only 250 Clubsports. Had a Clubsport VXR myself and loved it.

I used too own the corsa nurburgring that James May drove on top gear......probably one of the most fun cars ive owned for a bit of b road bashing....the lsd works a treat👌

@@MrThegenral1 yeah following the bandwagon of idiots who have not owned the car. The only reason why the gearbox goes is due to irregular gearbox services and using the wrong f*cking oil. Most people who drive them are young and are just getting into cars. Second of all, the 4th piston goes because people run bigger power with stock supporting mods such as injectors and con rods. In addition, most are badly mapped and fuel air ratio is rubbish as a result of incorrect mods etc. Do your research before chatting shite mate

I had the exact same car on a 63 plate. Loved it but exhaust was very quiet and got rid due to starting a family. My lsd had to be replaced around 10k miles on warranty as it permanently locked up. And the book 0-60 was 6.9 seconds if I remember rightly

Open the passenger side door and open the glove box what do you see on the side of the glove box? 😉 This is the inspiration for the design of these cars as it coincides with why the bodywork includes "gills" on the front and rear bumpers, your welcome 🤙

Shame vauxhall (I mean Peugeot) dropped the VXR brand completely. These were really good cars for young people who wanted something less common than a fiesta ST.

you mentioned about the gearbox i bought one 2 years ago i had gearbox problems was so hard to change gear used to get stuck alot . Love your videos bro

Best colour imho and same as mine altho mine is far from standard now tho and the piper turbo back system makes all the right noises.. I may be 54 years old but you never get too old or tired of the noise of these when you nail the throttle and get that nice pop on the over run😂😎👍

Owned 2 of these one black and one orange, cool as and pretty unique! They made 500 to start with and then an additional 300 so only 800 made! Rare cars

Really like these and you don't often see them. Bit more expensive to run than a Fiesta ST and were more expensive to purchase new but I love seeing them about

The Nürburgring Corsa D is the older version of a Corsa E VXR with performance package. The Corsa E with PP has the better breaks, better suspeons and also a drechsler diff. I drive one of these. :)

Vauxhall m32 box is made of chocolate, had two rebuilt myself, put me off getting vauxhall again.

Corsa VXRs are fun and they look good too but it’s a shame they have engine issues

I think James May drove one of these on Top Gear.

Moved house so catching up on videos, always had a soft spot for Vauxhalls loved clips of the old school novas calibra etc, mate had normal Arden blue vxr when it was a year old,awesome cars in my opinion, another great video again Calvin

Never told old for a little rip about calv 😁 by far the best colour too!

This car has picked up more 14 year olds than Prince Andrew

The 250 you were referring to was the Corsa vxr clubsport I had one!

I think Calvin really is a Roadman but doesn't want us to know🤣

The true Noncemobile, park up in Maccies carpark and you’re all set

Engines don't get rebuilt for nothing, probably thrashed. You're right Astra and Corsa are not comparable, had both.

I used to have a corsa vxr and the seat thing happened to me if you get in contact with Vauxhall they will send you out some clips for free

Love the corsa but loved the Astra more

interesting watch i had one come up behind me once i was impressed how quick it was but did understeer a lot around some twisty stuff.

Just shy of 500 made of the Nurburgring, people liked them that much they later made 500 Clubsport editions which were pretty much the same

I bought a one brand new in 2016 which had a lot of the same upgrades as the nurburgring edition. Had it nearly 4 years kicked the shit out of it at any opportunities and the only money it cost me was a set of front tyres.

Burgs were 500+ made. It's the Clubsports we're only 240 ish we're made. Got a 64 plate Clubsport.

I think the orangey red vxr colour is called chilli orange

Racing edition is the rarest I believe 444 made. Nurburgring was going to be 250 a year but ended up building about 700-800 I believe

as I've read calv there was meant to be "250" but they did so well the first year they made over 500. the second year they did another 500 so there not what Vauxhall had initially set out to be! I had one in white! which was among the rarest and loved it but I always wish id had gone for the club sport! 'Cheating for Vauxhall as it was identical in every way barring the colour scheme' i loved the grey they did!. sold the Corsa got an s3 went stage 1 sold it and now i have a much loved and actually rare Astra burg!. (in white. the only colour!)

Buy a Fiesta ST180 instead. Engine's and gear boxes don't blow to pieces.

Ahh sick my best mate had a noba gsi in that colour also. Seemed rapid back in 1998 lol

Just come across this, I now own the very car in the video. Its a credit to the last owners a lovely car to own

astra VXR's are from the golden age of hot hatch backs if you ask me, always liked the Corsa's, though they were a bit newer they still kept that OG hot hatch shape/look that most manufactures moved from... shame that vauxhall have so many issues, the gear boxes are literally made of cheese for a start ahah I think they used the same engine in the astra 1.6 turbo (non VXR model and quite a rarity) I might be wrong though!

Corsa vxr or fiesta st3 Which would u chose.

Lovely little car, love the colour.

It’s not 250 made , it’s around 950 for the uk market and around 250 clubsports

Been close to buying one of these for a while, but the main worry is the Engine weakness. Viewed a few and just cant push myself to buy one. Seat bolster coming away ive seen loads.

I was love one of these, but so anxious about getting one and having lots of issues :( Are they as poor on reliability as people say? E.g the pistons

Shouldn’t it have Xenon Headlights? Thought those were standard on the VXR’s?

New to the Channel Great video I had the orange one nice little car

The mini is the dog’s 👍 I was looking forward to winning it even if it has had a bump

That's a good planet of dreams car

The only time number 4 will go is if its running rich its a myth regarding number 4 i.e you get it tuned not right you may get that issue, leave stuff alone it will be fine.
