How amusing the VXR is getting slagged off for 'torque steer' the Civic 2.2 has the same amount of torque!

Web rumour is the Astra VXR that TG had was a pre production one and was running SRi suspension.

Most freelance journos tend to crib other reviews hence the constant quote of torque steer on the VXR.

Granted some cars are more prone to torquesteer than others but at the end of the day most of it is induced by poor driving.

Its a bit kettle and pot quoting JC after he forced the Type R to understeer like an oil tanker just so he could have an angle for his 'test'.
