it think the OP's question he asked me was what he was trying to get at but did not put it very well. His basic question was how easy is a VX to live with. from a member of this forum is prob the best place to start looking

I have owned and sold both, an VX220 NA & an Astra VXR The NA for me, i thought was too slow, so i sold it, i missed it and desperatly wanted a VX220 Turbo, but instead of saving the money for 4-6 months to get a nice Tub, i went and picked up an Astra VXR, i then spent the next 6 months on engine mods (to stage 2 around 300bhp at a cost of around £2000) it was entertaining to drive, too much power and torque for the front wheels... I have now sold the VXR and currently rolling in a pug 107 for a couple years to save some money as i have moved out from the comfort of my mums house & ventured into my own! Now seeing as im still lurking around on this forum sort of tells you what car i actually always regretted selling and eventually will go and buy another, probably a turbo version next... subtle hint... its not the Astra...
