Performance
The Corsa is potentially the best of all VXR hatchbacks so far produced by Vauxhall. Unlike Astra VXR, it is the model’s brief design that the VXR guys’ find their best chance of getting the hot hatch they dream about. After surfing through 1980s car reviews, they set demanding targets from suppliers, calling upon mates at Lotus to tune the dampers so as to get them spot-on.
