Vauxhall VXR8 (2007-) Review

Category: Affordable Sports 4 out of 5

Summary of the Vauxhall VXR8 (2007-)

Price Range: £35,105 to £35,275

Assets

Quick, rides well, not a typical Vauxhall.

Drawbacks

A bit on the large side, cheapish interior, rear wing a bit lairy.

Verdict

The VXR8 is a fast, powerful but usable saloon and provides a lot of muscle-car fun for not very much money.

Vauxhall VXR8 Review

Safety and Security4 out of 5

The VXR8 comes with the usual safety features, such as the now-standard ABS and electronic brake-force distribution, and electronic stability control (ESP). Passive safety features include six airbags, active head restraints and three-point seatbelts throughout.

There are no Euro NCAP crash test results because the car is imported and sold in such small numbers.
