This 320bhp Astra VXR is UNDERRATED!

In this video, I go for a spin in a 320bhp Vauxhall Astra VXR. This is actually my first time going out in an Astra VXR, and this one was far from a standard example, running quite a few mods which I will list below. I have actually been out in a friends standard Corsa VXR plenty of times but the Astra feels like a much more complete car to me, and is actually quite underrated in my opinion. I'm not sure if that due to the particular mods on this car as I can't comment on the Astra VXR in it's standard guise, but I was very impressed by this particular example. At 320bhp, it felt like a nice useable amount of power to have fun without it being out of control or too much for the road. It also sounded great with the 3 inch custom turbo back exhaust, the power delivery was nice and linear and fairly lag free, but still had the surge and torquey feeling you would expect from a turbo petrol. I was also very impressed by the handling of the car and it just seemed to stick to the road and felt very composed and hunkered down. One of the common known problems with these VXR's is the M32 gearbox, however the owner has uprated the bearings in the gearbox and gets the gearbox oil changed every year and has never had any issues with the box, even when it was standard. The last thing I will mention is the seats, which not only look the part are rather comfortable and supportive, and the overall interior isn't too bad in my opinion, far superior to that of a Corsa. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the video, thanks to Simon for taking me for a spin. Thankyou guys for watching.
