What a d***. He has bought a s***** VXR on 18's for £15500 and he is slagging off the AGP for £13.5k which is much better looking imo.

Sounds like somebody is jealous... at the end of the day he has bought a car with a front end that looks like a meriva (or whatever its called) and is annoyed that the Abarth looks too good. GTFO.

have i missed somethin


where did he slag it off?

the gp and the gp abarth are both great cars.

there is better build quality available in a hot hatch but you would have to get a Very **** or an Arseholes Utterly Diabolical Invalid to get it and tbh they are way over priced. the arbarth gp is the bargain of the century.


imo vauxhalls are rubbish and i wouldnt drive one if you gave it me the only vaxhall that is any good is the monaro whch is actually a holden/chevrolet hybrid.

Abarth's FTW! :slayer:

what a waste of money £13,500.........plus for 155 bhp poor build quality and average perforance keep it for 2 years plus you will know what i mean you will soooooooooo want rid of it.you are just so high with the new purchase.ABARTH .......R.I.P

that makes no sense at all. Now we know you dont like fiat/abarth so why dont you just fcuk off and go and tell someone that cares? I would much prefer to spend 13,500 on a car that wont torque steer me off the road as soon as i accelerate, i want a car that will go round a corner(ie the abarth).

I suggest you go take one out for a pasting round some twistys. You wil put a VXR to shame round them along with a CTR and you will stay on a 172s arse no problem.

Id take the poor build quality back carl. Go have a sit in one and they feel alot better build quality than a basic GP

If you want build quailty get an S-Class.

Astra VXR? Hmm...would rather have the Vectra VXR as it's faster, much more 'omg' inducing, and I've always thought the vectra didnt look too bad.

The interiors on the Astra's / Vectra's are worse than dire though. I'd have to kill myself if I had no choice but to sit in such a piece of **** interior everyday.

but you said the honda was gutless compared to your punto

well thx for the majority of possitive compliments! it is a fantastic car, keep getting out of it with a huge grin on my face... bet i looked a right wolly in tescos this morning lol

as for what else i could have got for my money... vxr corsa.... no thx there common as muck around here and anything infront of the seats if HORRIABLE!... as for the clio... if im truly honest i just dont like them, again the interior is horriable.

ok so what am down on power slightly against both of them but im honestly not bothered, the looks make up for it 10 fold and if in honest the sheer power upto 5k is pritty good! - especially with the power boost on - that doesnt get turned off!!!!

iv never got the whole thing behind the "poor build quality" i recon for the money you pay for a GP its a bloody good car!!! both fiat and abarth have done fantastic jobs.

anyway thx again for all the fantastic comments!!! and as for a meet... im up for it get one centeral am im there - the south coast would be a little 2 far

For the exact same money you can buy a 197 cup in glacier white, with black 17" alloy wheels and recaro seats like my old one
