I’ve owned both. The seats in the VXR are unrivalled, absolutely brilliant. Other than that, the ST is better in every way.

I've got an ST3 and from your exterior shots the exhaust looks standard. There is a pipe from the air box into the cabin which gives you induction noise - gives you the impression inside the car that it's a lot louder outside than it is. It's a nice feature honestly, not synthetic noise piped in, someone who enjoys driving came up with that.

@MVG-2021 5 ай бұрын

That would make sense! I realise I think that exhaust is a standard mountune one when you spec that package from looking into it

@@MVG-2021 I could be wrong but I think the Mountune MP215 kit only included a remap and an updated metal air box. And I don’t even think every car got the air box.

Great head to head, owned my VXR for 7 years now and still love it. Mate of mine had an ST 3, had a weekend driving through Wales in them and have to agree the ST does handle better. I feel the ST seats hug you better but still arn’t beating those VXR seats

Corsa E vxr is different but very similar. Different ecu, more power torque, more low down torque. Bigger injectors, updated inlet apple carplay android auto, digital temp gauge the list goes on. Steering is different too. Piston 4 is very rare on the E's even on the D's is due to the undersized pistons and bad inlet design (leans out at wide open throttle and intake temps get too hot which melts the piston). Bad maps is usually to blame, bigger injectors solve this.

You can add the cruise control, and many other options on the fiesta so easily. I added every missing option on my mk7.5.

They do 👍. It was optional on the ST-2. Easy way to tell is that if it has the right hand set of steering wheel controls, it has cruise control. If it doesn’t, it’s just blank 👍

1:23 'maybe I'm just old now' no you're not, you are still VERY YOUNG. Not even middle aged, let alone old ffs. I'm 54 and love my OG M2, my last car was a tuned M140i (455bhp/634nm). Age is just a number. If you think you are 'too old' to own a hot hatch, you were born an old man. The Corsa VXR is a terrible car, and I think the only reason you prefer it, is because YOU owned one. If you had owned a Fiesta ST back then, you would be singing it's praises.

Fords always seem to deal with the corners better than vauxhalls in stock form. The VXR powerful but I think the ST puts the power down better. Obviously if you want the best handling from stock in a hatch then you go with a Type R Civic.

Of course the st3 will feel quicker it’s more bigger bhp this to me isn’t a fair comparison as the st3 is not only more bhp it’s been modified by mount tune so you need the vxr Nurburgring model for this to be fair comparison.
