    It got some decent reviews. 197bhp in a Corsa would be pretty quick.

    Might be a bit of a puddle jumper on our roads however.

    0-60 in 6.8 secs - Astra takes 6.1 so it's not too far off.


    One of my colleagues was in Oulton Park on the VXR test day last week and said it's a hoot to drive, but the Astra is much better. Save a bit harder and look (a little) less chav.

    €41,950 for a second hand Toyota Auris diesel? :eek:

    Must be a typo: €14,950 sounds more like it ;)

    Opel OPC = Vauxhall VXR. The OPC isn't a UK-only model.

    Roadtax on that Toyota is going to be high as well with a 2.2 engine.

    The reason it is a UK only model is probably because the high VRT on an Auris makes it not worth it.

    The car has 3,500km on it and while the odometer can be changed to Kmh, the speedo seems to be in mph.

    You would need to be mad to consider 41k for that.
