Robert Burns · 7th February 2012, 13:33

Cars i would trade the type r for

Focus RS (yes i did it, loving it)
VXR8
DBS (dream car)
GTR (i will own it one day, even if i have to then declare bankrupt)
Cobra

rossk1009 · 7th February 2012, 13:42

No chance especially since they seem to all come with the recommendation of wearing a skip cap when driving

jamie g · 7th February 2012, 13:43

Astra vxr is a good looking car, better performance figures than the civc, nicely equiped, why wouldn't you want one if you are after a hot hatch. For the money I prefered the type R though, but there is no right or wrong. I just prefer normally aspirated hot hatches and the type R looks so good inside and out!

Alanok · 7th February 2012, 13:46

They are not that bad a car but they haven't aged well inside or outside.

I personally wouldn't swap.

Strell · 7th February 2012, 15:07

Nope.
Having previously owned an Astra VXR I feel I have a valid opinion

It was quick no doubt about that, but understeered everywhere.
Maybe with some chassis mods it could cope with its power. But you'd be looking at coilovers and LSD at a minimum i would say. So not cheap.

katsock · 7th February 2012, 15:51

Well, I don't have an R but... no, I wouldn't swap someone else's R for it either.

R555 · 7th February 2012, 16:48

I'd swap for the Nurburghring Edition, even though it did only hold the record for a few days.....

crowmar kirkliss · 7th February 2012, 17:53

ARE you mad bro?
