Owning A Corsa VXR | The 200 BHP Value Hot Hatch 

Jamie_FYD Did the owner show you the shark in the glove box, on the left hand side 🤙

It should say McDonald's ;)

I have a hot hatch your can review. Scooby sti 400bhp.

Noticed it straight away. Suits it well 😂

Very umm... Cheeky ;) ;)

Mark Scott The previous generation ST was around in 2007. There was an official Mountune version somewhere along the line. Not that I particularly like the Ford, but the Corsa VXR looks like a child's toy.

A Nother the Mk6 fiesta ST that the ford fuck boys should be relating to the Corsa vxr instead of the new 2013+ shape fiesta was a 2.0l naturally aspirated pushing 150 hp. It was also very front end heavy. both the Corsa and fiesta of the same era are good cars but people need to stop relating to an almost 10 year old car to a 4 year old one.

Totally agree, my last car was a 2007 Corsa VXR which I ran from 60,000 - 104,000 miles. Never once did the engine miss a beat due to it being standard (would've obviously uprated the injectors if I were to map it), serviced regularly and being allowed to warm up before driven hard. All of this P4 shit is simply caused by idiotic chavs who have no clue about car maintenance running them into the ground. +A Nother The Mk6 Fiesta was a total joke in comparison to the Corsa VXR, the engine was severely underpowered and lacked any tuning potential, excessively front heavy, handled like shit and the styling of it (especially compared to the Corsa) was dated and ugly. When you have a Corsa D VXR in front of you, there's absolutely no mistaking it for a standard SXI or SRI, the same definitely cannot be said for the Fiesta.

Alex Baker Well said Alex. My mum has got an ST lol but you’re right about their being seen a lot. I currently have a Fiesta Zetec S for my first car but I’m hoping to get an A45 AMG, you a fan of them :)?

Yes common as they offer value at a price you can afford

R77 DVR I've had experience in one.. then I left the drive thru...

R77 DVR owned 2. There okay. But the main problem is 4th piston failure. The z16 leh is an OK platform.

TANDEM boii you are right it's not a bad lump. As daft as it sounds a soft stage 1 engine with uprated injectors is probably safer than a one on a standard map with standard injectors. A chap I know was running one with a decent map, bigger injectors and a K06 Turbo running 280ish on standard internals.. sounds mental but it's was all fine for a long time!

TANDEM boii Different car altogether once forged. The engine is very efficient and revs to almost 9k. do away with the cast pistons and you can pretty much go as big as you like

I own a corsa c 1.2 2006 still going at 107k?

BWTV you were surprised a 1.6 turbo could reach 200bhp!??? Just how fucking stupid are you???

old larry exceptionally stupid.

He owns a golf probably pretty stupid

can i be honest this make me feel at ease!

200hp from a 1.6 wasn't impressive even 15 years ago. You had naturally aspirated 1.6's making 185hp over 20 years ago even.. Let alone turbo ones.

ZS Jord fuck piston 4 lmao engine can be replaced your life cant

Layton Dunkley all cars can have engine failure its a car lol you cant predict when your gonna have problems touch wood vxr hasnt had any problems its been reliable and has health checks nothing wrong with it plus its cheap to insure with 8 years no claims and look apart on the road

U need to research more bout the 4th piston bollocks knobhead

It starts to go when the car isn’t warmed up or cooled down properly constantly.

Harry Ellis wish mine was the same always brakes Down 🤣

+JOE 92 Yeah it’s a genuinely nice looking motor mate, I don’t hate cars either :)

Terrible haha I had a 2007 fiesta st mk6 they were incredible almost like a go karts, then got a green corsa vxr! Both brilliant cars but never one fault with my mk6 as for the vxr had the engine forged new turbo new everything due to faults

+Dom Brown I’ve owned my Fiesta since I was 19 and the only thing I’ve had to get repaired was a rear wheel bearing. Anything else was upgrades or refurbishment work. Solid little cars when they’re looked after.

+JOE 92 Yeah I think they look pretty good in my opinion and the hate they get is pretty unfair. I learnt to drive in one after all. I’m a Ford guy completely but I respect other makes and have experience with most.

I have a Mini JCW, and I get nothing but shit from Corsa VXR owners, constantly wanting to race.

Just to add, I think the Corsa VXR has the meanest looking rear-end out of any hot-hatch on the road these days.

Josh Bacon you could say it about most cars cant you ? So many judge this little hot hatch but get blown out roof when they smash a car worth twice as much 🤣🤣

Chavs ride stolen motorbikes what you on about

True that

JOE 92 is it your car then Joe?😂

JOE 92 i looked at getting one as a cheap toy a bit ago but too many horror stories for me. Ended up with an ep3 and Mountuned Fiesta st. Can’t fault either, may get one one day

JOE 92 no hate on my part. Just thought his vid was very stuttery from editing, purely an observation

Amen to that! Had mine for almost 6 months, mine is from 2014 so one of the later ones, but no issues yet, and I look after it :)

Daznick Because at 19 you have huge experience of owning lots of other cars? You've only owned it for less than a year, so realistically you're not going to have a huge amount of long term experience. No offence meant, but you youngsters do tend to have less real life experience than a lot of people.

Whoah, talk about skipping conclusions. Yes. May have owned it for 1 year, but do you happen to know how may miles i cover? Because ultimately that is what causes mechanical issues. Also at what point did i say i have "Huge experience owning lots of other cars"? Im finding it quite difficult to figure out what it is you're trying to get at with this comment^.

Just needs forged then it’ll be fine

That's because you're old.

There not called redtop turbos lol. Redtop is the c20xe. Turbo is the c20let

Carl Broughton there OK cars. Z16leh engine is alright. If you decide to get I mapped. Get rabbid to do it. Or a reputable mapper. These are known for blowing up or 4th piston failure. Other than that. Find a well mantained one. Keep it survived regular. And always run it on shell optimax or 110 octane. They run a lot better with higher octane fuel. Handling wise not much needs to be done. Set of springs. Whiteline anti roll bar and a LSD and there like a good kart lol. Avoid the ignition cut. Ticking time bomb. Decent miltek exhaust. Panel filter. Jobs a good un. If you ever need to renew the turbo. Use a ko3 turbo. Avoid dump valves. Sound cool but In time the z16leh isn't fond of it. So just keep the recirculation valve on.

Porkie Chops aren’t they 200bhp on overboost and they’re quite light too so would be very even probably

itzzaster I us to have an Mini Cooper r50 stock 115hp 150nm, had it mapped to like 135hp and 170nm, stock 0-60 was about 8.5sec, when it was mapped I raced a ST and I beat it. They're not that fast in a straight an ST but lovely cars for a B road!

Porkie Chops considering the fiesta st's 0-60 is what? 6.9 seconds? Sounds like they weren't really trying.

Nemerus probably racing a 1litre😂

The ST would absolutely cane the VXR in corners, and the ST wouldn't break down either while doing it

Much cheaper dont think so

Hear the prices mentioned for corsas vxrs in this video? Find someone selling an ep3 for 9 grand thats standard you would think he was mad

C K Exactly 😂

Hondas hold there money jdm is always better the french lol

Ep3 type r is a 2.0 engine,, corsa only 1.6 ...but yea type r would be 10 times more reliable,,and you don’t have to worry about blowing the turbo ,,and it does look like a women’s hairdresser car a little ..

Castortroy69 Peach yeah m8 I love my 1993 astra GSi, and my old astra gte convertible :) those were the good old days of vahxhall

Jason Jay Vauxhall in the 80 or 90.your having a Turkish surely

This isn’t a vxracing edition

@@boostedchris6120 of course it’s not, it’s just red and doesn’t have full leather Recaros and a few bitd

@@Doseofmentalhealth This isn’t the vxracing edition as the vxracing edition has gloss black alloys from factory, gloss black mirror caps from factory, gloss black spoiler and gloss black roof with the black side sills to project damage caused by others for the doors and full leather seats which are heated only for the front that’s all

@@boostedchris6120 I’ve got a VXR Racing but thanks for letting me know lol

@@Doseofmentalhealth Nice buddy, I know a fair few people with vxracing edition they’re getting more rare! I was looking at one but reliability sides isn’t worth it for me due to p4 and m32 gearbox issues but cheap easy fix

He already did, fell asleep at the wheel.

Remus

Ellis01234567890 what's the competition?

208 gti, fiesta st, ibiza cupra, clio rs, polo gti, mini cooper s, mito cloverleaf. I'm sure there's more that I haven't thought of. But all of those cars better than the corsa vxr.

dont think a 2009 ibiza cupra is . imo

Ellis01234567890 Nurburgring Edition is better and faster than all those cars around around a track.

Starlet Glanza V

This corsa vxr has an aftermarket exhaust fitted buddy, they do not pop and bang without having an aftermarket exhaust system installed

@@boostedchris6120 ahhhh shitttt ... much love brother ... I’m currently looking for one rn and I really want a pop and bang one

@@fatboy3677 I seen you’re comment so I had to help you out, ohh nice just beware they need forged but it’s best to do a compression test if it’s not forged, to achieve poo and bang you’ll need to have an aftermarket exhaust with a decat and get pop and bang map installed

Daniel Oliver why lol. Just use a z20let. From the mk4 Astra gsi. Or a z20leh from a mk5 astra vxr

TANDEM boii probs best like since I think the z20let puts out about the same amount of power anyway?

Private plate

Viewing needs canbus for c20let. Pointless. Its a headache. May as well just drop in a z20leh

The Roadwarrior would rather drive a ford transit

Go drive a ford transit then? Your comment is pointless. What do you drive? Corsa c I guess 😂

The Roadwarrior no buddy i would never own one of them i currently own a corsa vxr as a toy and im on the look out for a skyline im no chav btw just seems on here its all about poxy fords lol

Bit of a Vauxhall fanboy. Poxy Ford's lol?

The Roadwarrior no mate i respect all cars buddy just the car scene aint what it used to be like now its full of fuck tards well some anyway

digger1151 would rather a ford transit 🤣

envy you25 instead of a VXR? Yep 😉

digger1151 dude the car scene aint what it used to be its full of bollocks oh i got better than you and shit it used to be people respecting cars now its just full of shit i think i think the corsa vxr is a good platform only the issues that make it bad coz people want too much power its called greed just get a car you enjoy who gives fuck what people think 😔

envy you25 I agree people should get a car they love to drive and enjoy as cars are a real personal choice. I just said I prefer an ST...

kingofiron257 because if you aint got a ford your not good enough the car scene should respect peoples cars seems that ford is the way forward now haha 🤣

Colin Coleman twat xD

Take care of them like any other car and they will be fine. Had my vxr 3 years now, stage 1, gearbox and pistons fine. Just need to upgrade the injectors when you map it. Awesome car, love it.

Tom Norris m32 gearbox,s or what I call em. M jelly box.

TANDEM boii the reason I didn't get the astra vxr....

Dn wd you fucking melt 🤣

that's fuckin hilarious

Golf any day of the week

Sick Will ep3 most boring and even more chavvy than a vxr lmao when i drove one just sounded like a loud fart drove me bloody mad 😣😆

JOE 92 don't feed trolls... Lol

JOE 92 yes I own a glanza

JOE 92 and a fabia as a daily

W Racer you daft? The block are actually very strong and good, its the pistons and rods and once you forge them these will take 400bhp without any drama, that being said its too much for a FWD without sticky tyres and aero which is why most idiots can't drive and need a lot of power to cover up their lack of skills but a dated 1.8T 20V, they're shit! Unless they have a proper K04 such as an 064 they produce poor figures, struggle to hold boost, vacuum pipes fail and unless its an LCR they look dog shit I.E. Golf Mk4, A3/S3 8L, Octavia they're all so dated and wank! Mate you haven't a clue about 1.8Ts and trust me I do I work for one of the biggest VAG tuners in the UK, they're shit.

Craig O'Sullivan mk5 gti cmon boringggg

Same as fiesta st’s mk7 and fiesta ecoboosts just shouts chav

Harry Page well you can come round and cut my hair bro 👌

envy you25, have you ever driven one or been in one ?

Harry Page yeah just dont understand why so many ppl slate this little hot hatch its the younger people that give hot hatches a bad name financed out the roof and cant even afford insurance dammm what wrong with car scene

envy you25 I'm not slating it, I'd just rather have a Mini. Having had experience with both the Mini is far superior, hence why I own a 2006 JCW, my dad owns a 2017 JCW and my mom a 2007 Cooper S. They look better, they perform better, handle better, sound better and are just more upmarket, after knowing several people who have owned Corsa VXR's, many have swapped them for a Fiesta ST or a Mini, for good reason. None of our Mini's are financed, also look at the residuals of the Corsa VXR, they lose so much value.

Harry Page yeah i get what your saying i love all cars pal just think vauxhall get shit loads of stick
